If I start pulseaudio with the -C command to get a command line interface will the settings in daemon.conf take effect since I am not creating a daemon? Or is the daemon still created and a pacmd instance is started right after? I also noticed that I can produce 2 two channel alsa sinks by pointing them at front:1 and rear:1. Are there equivalent values for side:1 and center/lfe:1? I tried side:1 without avail so that can't be it.

I downloaded a 8 channel wave file, and when I play it via the 8 channel sink I get perfect channel seperation. If I play the same file via one of the 2 channel sinks then I get the sound reproduced on outputs other than what that sink is tied to BUT the volumes are different making me think this is some kind of virtual surround. Does ALSA or pulse have the ability to cause this, or is this basically the sound card being annoying? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Pulseaudio semi-intelligently makes stereo streams surround streams, if you have a surround sound card. Unfortunately this affects the streams from the remap sinks too (I think this will be fixed real soon now in svn, if Lennart approves the new behaviour). Fortunately the feature can be disabled in daemon.conf (disable-remixing). </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
