Sound control lacks surround upmix tick and default card choice

[Bartosz Woronicz]

There should be ability to disable upmix from stereo to surround (i.e. 5.1) sound in gnome-control-center.

I needed to manually change it in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf :
enable-remixing = no

The secod issue In the sound control app there is no choice of default sound card like in Windows.
Now I have like 3 sound card Intel Ivy bridge embedded, Creative X-Fi USB, not to mention soundcard over HDMI/Display Port.

When I turn my thinkpad the sound comes from X-Fi, but the volume control is still on Intel card ! It works this way since I remember.

I would help in developing, just need the clue where to start :-) Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
