Binary package hint: pulseaudio

When playing surround sound movies (in VLC or Totem), it keeps playing
them over the 8/6 channels, rather than 2 channels (since I only have a
2.1 speaker configuration). It worked fine back when I was using Ubuntu
9.04, but stopped working since I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10.

Switching to ALSA directly (in VLC at least) fixes the problem. So it
seems to be something to do with PulseAudio.

I have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Roadie USB sound card.

In System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Hardware, I notice my profile is
set to 'Analog Surround 7.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input'. Of the other
profile choices, there is no choice for stereo output.
