@Desh Danz: please refrain from comments like this. You are rude and not
helpful. Speaking as a user who's affected by this bug too.

@Jerther: I have perfectly fine surround sound... If I leave all the
speaker sliders to their default values (100% in pavucontrol, or
centered in gnome-volume-control). The damn thing works, just not if you
adjust the sound of the speakers through pulseaudio. It's not like
people are *dying* here.

Now, it is unclear what is the official position of the upstream
pulseaudio project on this. AFAICT, there seems to be a bug report
upstream (http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/697) but the devs haven't figured
out what's going on.

Users who have time to debug this should go upstream and do that. Maybe
with some help from the folks in the #pulseaudio IRC channel to speed
things up.
