<pre>Ok, so deadbeef automatically falls back to using 8 channels when 2 channels
doesn't work.
I'll close this as a NOTABUG. If you want, you can report a bug to the alsa
developers about the "front" device being present even though it doesn't work
(working with 8 channels doesn't count, because the definition of the "front"
device is that it's a stereo device).
<a href="http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking">http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking</a>
You can create a stereo sink in pulseaudio by loading module-remap-sink:
pactl load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=my_stereo_sink
master=MASTER_SINK_NAME channels=2 master_channel_map=front-left,front-right
channel_map=front-left,front-right remix=no
Replace MASTER_SINK_NAME with the real name of the master sink.
You can put the load-module command in /etc/pulse/default.pa if you have the
sound card always plugged in. If it's sometimes unplugged, you need to load the
module manually, because pulseaudio doesn't currently provide a mechanism to
automatically set up the remap sink when the USB sound card appears.</pre>
