Bug Description
aside from having to enable extra streams in pulse audio settings
something probably not practical to novice users, the alsa settings
for *only* the rear speakers were zeroed.
When new sound hardware is discovered there should be a friendly
gui asking the user how many speakers are connected.
It should then change the appropriate settings in alsa and pulse audio...
Without new hardware assistance like this Ubuntu is unlikely to penetrate
far with groups of users with little or now computer expertise
(which is the largest group of users...)

Might be difficult to detect how many speakers are connected... unless they are thorugh a USB amp?
