 Setting up a 5.1 usb sound card with pulseaudio. In order to get it to do
 5.1, default-sample-channnels is set to 6 in daemon.conf.

 Configuring the card with:

 load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=usb_out device=surround51:1
 channels=6

 Results in a 6channel device visible in paman. However, allowing module-
 hal-detect to catch the card still produces a 2 channel device in paman,
 regardless of the default-sample-channels setting.

 Attached are logs from pulseaudio -vv under the manual and hal
 configurations, respectively.
