Ok, this might be useful.
Digging into /proc/asound I've find something that might has something to do
with this issue. In /proc/asound/card0/stream0 the 6 channels mode uses a
format that I haven't seen that is supported by Pulseaudio. It tells it uses
format S24_3LE. Is this mode supported in some way?
Could this be the issue?
Interface 1
Altset 4
Format: S24_3LE
Channels: 6
Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC)
Rates: 48000
After a while.....
I've just realized that there is a S16_LE 6 channels mode as well, and what is
more, it's Pulseaudio default mode!!!! :( (Damm it!! Stupid me). I changed it
just because the soundcard sounded like crap just after plugging it in and I
adjust values to what specifications claimed. The crappy sound might be because
if 44100 being the default-sample-rate instead of 48000.
Now I'm enjoying pulseaudio's 5.1 surround audio through my network. Feels so
good!!!
Thank you very much for your support!!!
