New description:

 I have Audigy4 audio card. It has two hw devices: x,0 and x,3, where x,0 -
 analog 2 channel and multichannel x,3. Seems like pulse always use x,3.
 When I listen 2 channel audio, it plays only on 2/6 (front) speakers. If I
 manually add sink to x,0 I can listen 2 channel music on 6/6 speakers.
 Changing profile do nothing to this situation. But 5.1 films ok on 5.1
 profile.

 Cards/sinks added with HAL detection.
