I tested these patches with pulseaudio package in Ubuntu repository for
vivid.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/source/vivid/pulseaudio

I uploaded the package in my PPA. Please check it if you need. I push
the patches to debian/patches/0212-multichannel-fixes.patch.

I used two of my devices (FW 1814 and GO46), which has different number
of PCM channels for playback/capture.

This is a log with Ubuntu original package.

This is a log with pached package.

PulseAudio always has 'dummy output' for its sink with original package,
while it has output sinks with patched package.
It always has source inputs as the device has.

With the pached package, I can use PCM playback device of the actual
devices.
I think your patches fix this issue.
