pulseaudio assume surround21 is four channels since buffer time is half of stereo
why alsa lib surround21 did not specity any channel ? http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=48f1b308cc66152eb6db66742dd0d08d888cda8d;hp=5c4cd46810cef8850b037fca9e38ffd43b0bff22 2.1 speaker set is different from 5.1 speaker set 070| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Trying front:0 with SND_PCM_NO_AUTO_FORMAT ...
