Hiya, 'Twas brillig, and elupus at ecce.se at 15/10/10 13:54 did gyre and gimble: > I must admit I've not looked much at our PulseAudio implementation > but i really thought it supported multichannel directly.

Damn, this was on my todo list for last night but I forgot :s I meant to look and see if my statements were (still) true or not :) Will try and do it when I get home if I'm not too drunk (it is Friday afterall!) > Should that be required first? Any hints on how to get pulse to > recognize all my analog outputs? Should just be a matter of running pavucontrol and having a look at the last tab. I suspect that digital output in 5.1 wont be supported out of the box on Ubuntu as don't think they have the relevant patches included to ensure full support but I could be wrong as I've not played... I'll find a live cd/usb somewhere to test at some point. > I'll try to stop by #pulseaudio tonite and we can see if we can make > sure it works.

Cool I may or may not be in there depending on how fun the pub is after work (tonight for me is 6pm+ GMT FWIW - timezones are always a pain when referring to such abstract concepts but I'm fully guilty of doing that frequently!!)
