I sent a mail to Pulseaudio mailing list, and a developer / co-maintainer is able to reproduce this bug :). "Fortunately, I now tried this myself, and I'm able to reproduce the bug. I wonder why this bug hasn't been noticed earlier, since this is a really basic thing... I'll debug this on my own machine."
Hopefully there will be a fix very soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132396 Title: [HDA, ALC889,optical spdif] Driver did not create IEC958 device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1132396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
