[Bug 519374] [NEW] pavucontrol missing pulseaudio "Digital Surround" output profiles

[Yfrwlf]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pavucontrol

I get all the analogue surround options (except for 7.1 but that is a
different and already known issue), but the only digital output (IEC958)
options I get are a few "Digital Stereo" options, but none of the
surround sound options.  The strange thing is, the center channel is
working, I can do test outputs to all three front speakers.  However,
I've verified none of the rear speakers are working (they should be as
they work with other things).

I'm pretty sure all that is missing here are proper Pulseaudio profiles
for digital + surround speaker setups.  Does anyone know if this is
coming for Lucid Lynx or if there is a way to manually add these
profiles?  Ubuntu doesn't make a very good HTPC without rear speakers.
:)

Thanks.
