Description
This bug was reported in Ubuntu's Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/360283
"PulseAudio is configured 6 channel mode, and the order is checked OK by a successful speaker-test : I can hear sound in each speaker at the right time, and subwoofer is OK. PulseAuydio? volume meters are showing meters moving synchronously with speaker-test, so it is OK. BUT : VLC Pulse, Audacious with PulseAudio plugin, ogmtools, mpg123, etc... don't use subwoofer any more when playing stereo. PulseAudio volumemeters are confirming that subwoofer is the only one to remain silent.
So it appears to be more a pulseaudio bug : it stopped to mix right and left channels into subwoofer/lfe channel when a siource with no explicit subwoofer/lfe channel is playing."
