[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio with VT1708S soundcard - Splitting between output Archlinux

[Sw@g]

Dear all,

I would like to be able to send the sound of a specific application to a 
specific output, IE a video from youtube to the headphone and a skype 
conversation to the speakers.

I installed pavucontrol and paprefs but it seems pulseaudio doesn't 
recognise the different output, after searching the wiki a bit I suppose 
I need to follow the setup for the surround sound found there => 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#Surround_sound_systems

But as I am far from being sure I am coming to ask for advice. I have 
copied and past the output of "pacmd list-sinks" to give all the 
necessary details (I hope)

Should you require any further details please let me know,

Many thanks for your assistance,

Regards,
