[pulseaudio-discuss] First draft of 10.0 release notes completed

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Yes, I see the contradiction. Thanks for noticing it. Indeed, I have
misremembered the forum post that prompted me to investigate the bug.

In that forum post, the microphone actually worked, but the speakers
didn't, because the device supports only multi-channel output.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54029 also talks about
device that only supports multi-channel output.

Anyway, even for stereo devices, there was a "Unable to find
definition 'cards.USB-Audio.pcm.front:CARD=1'" error in the log and an
unneeded fallback from front to hw.
