[Bug 486602] [NEW] Pulseaudio didn't play to the "Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) channel via "Analog Surround 5.1 output"

[Murz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pavucontrol

I have an analog 5.1 speakers with the Intel HDA audio (Realtek ALC662 rev1 - HDA ATI SB)  device.
Alsa is configured to use 5.1 speakers, in alsamixer I see the LFE regulator, that sets to 100%.
I have the pavucontrol (pulseaudio volume control) tool that can chage the pulseadio configuration

When i set the pulseadio to any 5.1 in Profile selectlist, I hear the sound, can control volume of each speaker.
When I looking any video with 5.1 sound, I hear the sound normally, with using LFE "Low Frequency Effects".
But when I listen the stereo (2-channel) music, I hear nothing in LFE speaker!!
If I set the pulseadio profile  to "Analog stereo", I hear the sound from it, but when I goes back to any 5.1 profile, the LFE goes off.

And I didn't see the "Low Frequency Effects" volume regulator in the device, I see strange string "Rear center".
Here is my pulseadio settings screenshots:

How I can bring the LFE work when playing 2-channel music?
