Comment:

 I'm re-openning this ticket, as I had lots of trouble now, caused by this
 issue.
 My system:

  * Dell Inspiron e1705
  * Gentoo Linux 2.6.26-r1
  * Intel-HDA (STAX9200)
  * USB Headset
  * pulseaudio 0.9.13

 As I have written in above post, this laptop has 3 speakers - two front
 and LFE, but they are recognized as 2 channels. Master mixer control
 changes volume of front speakers but does not influence LFE. PCM mixer
 control changes speakers and LFE.

 I have applied the mixer_channel patch myself to 0.9.13 version, and it
 worked fine, apart from the fact that I could no longer use module-hal-
 detect, as I needed to put mixer_channel on load-module module-alsa-sink.
 This resulted with my being unable to hotplug an USB Headset, which is
 kind of pathetic.

 It would be nice if I could set default_mixer_channel in pulse-
 daemon.conf, be able to specify it on a per-card basis or at least if
 module-hal-autodetect would ignore devices already added with module-alsa-
 sink.

 Is there any additional data necessary?
