Comment(by howl):

 I have been messing arround with /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-
 sets/default.conf and yes, it's very easy to configure multiple i/o per
 card, but, while doing it I was thinking another way to do it.

 When someone have the possibility to have multiple outputs at the same
 time usually someone wants to use this feature of his/her sound card and
 when someone have a sound card that have some outputs or inputs that
 cannot be at the same time it's more likely that he or she is going to use
 only one and are not going to be switching between the outputs.

 So, what about to list the user all the inputs and outputs available
 detected by pulseaudio, and let the user, with a checkbox per i/o to
 enable or disable what he or she wants. I think that this can solve the
 issue and also make much cleaner the configuration tab of pulseaudio's
 volume control.
