I would recommend against editting them in any case. A better solution is to add a custom profile for your card with the 7.1 channel map and tell pulse to use that instead of editting a common one. > I maintain Wireshark as well and do symlinking to /etc. It seems to be > a pretty standard way of packaging of config files oddly placed by > upstreams.

Heh, the time it takes to fix something upstream != when a new release is done though :).

It's not about network data channels which is something completely orthogonal ;) I left the patch in for the last upload, but sounds like we need to check with upstream what's going on here. In general i tend to be quite careful with what patches i apply especially if it's not clear if it's a good general change rather then fixing one specific users issue (but may regress others) -- Sjoerd Simons <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ pkg-pulseaudio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-pulseaudio-devel
