Profile editor needed

Description

hi I've got here pulseaudio 0.9.19 working on Ubuntu Karmic and I would like to see a profile editor to add some because I really would like to use my HDMI with the analog 5.1 output.

in the past, also in Ubuntu Jaunty I managed that by combining the Alsa-sinks of hw:0,0 and hw:0,3, which is the analog output configured in daemon.pa, it think, for using 5.1, and the HDMI output, But since the upgrade to Karmic pulseaudio is using profiles.

What do you think about my idea of a profile editor?

The point of the profiles stuff is that we can auto-discover them. If that does not work right now on all drivers or cards, then the drivers or PA need to be fixed. Having a profile editor is certainly counterproductive in this area, since it would allow people to create workarounds too easily, where we'd rather see a proper fix. Closing.
