Nah. using this is a misuse. You always should access SPDIF via the

This is wrong. PA handles spdif correctly. There is not
regression. And PA handles the surround mixer situation better than
the raw ALSA mixer. There is no regression.
Lennart - I'm not talking about PA. I've already said the way PA does
analog surround and S/PDIF, with its profile support, is a great
improvement. I like it. But the current counter-proposal for F11 is to
ship gnome-volume-control and no other mixer by default. g-v-c does not
expose PA's profile support. So no matter how great PA is - by this
proposal, we would *not be exposing* all that greatness by default in
F11 at all. People would somehow have to figure out to install
pavucontrol before they could get to that greatness.
The question is g-v-c vs. legacy mixer, not PulseAudio per se.
