To clarify, the only profile that was actually removed was the "Off" 
profile. If you have other profiles (5.1 surround, etc), those profiles 
are still selectable.

For the "off" profile, I believe this was considered a too unusual use 
case to support, but at the UDS session about the sound settings, I 
believe we decided to put it back in for 12.10. [1]

The current workaround is to install the pavucontrol application. That 
application can still set your sound card to the "off" profile.
