        <pre>Hello,

I have an USB M-Audio sound device : M-Audio Fasttrack Ultra.

When I type the command : pacmd list-cards

                        properties:


So, for outputs I can only choose between Analog-surround-7,
Analog-surround-71+input and off

If I list the alsa devices, I get :

So for my Fasttrack Ultra, i can choose between much more profiles :

Front , Surround 2.1, surround 4.0, Surround 4.1, Surround 5.0, Surround 5.1,
Surround 7.1

It's a real problem for common use, like watching surround movies, cause I have
only 2 speackers (L+R). As only selectable choice, 7.1 is selected, the
differents chanels are sent to differents speackers, and I miss most of the
sounds.

So I beg developpers to correct it, and make every alsa profiles detected and
selectable.

Thank you.

I you need more info, I will give them (as long as I am able to do it)</pre>
