Bug Description
Now that all the outputs are supported (see bug 560178), there is still something wrong with the mixer elements.
In Analog Surround 4.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input mode (where fortunately also digital output is enabled; I don't know about the digital input)
Steps to reproduce:
Select Output Devices tab in pavucontrol (0.9.9-1)
set all channels equal somewhere between Silence and Base
Unlock channels
Increase level of front channels
Result: Front volume is increased and rear volume is decreased (even if the visible Rear channel mixer elements do not move)
Expected result: Front volume is increased and rear volume stays unchanged

On the other hand, currently you are able to change the front output volume and keep the rear output volume unchanged by using Master track in alsamixer, (or using indicator-sound and not changing volume really low). So I am afraid it would be harder to change the front output volume independently of rear output volume (and digital output volume), if this bug were fixed. Still I think it is good to be able to use single volume control to change volume of all outputs.
