Comment 42 for bug 1236965

@Raymond #33 , when I execute that test, I hear sound out of the appropriate speakers ("front left" comes out of FrontLeft). This is with the dotdeb installed, and profile set to 5.1 surround

$ speaker-test -c2 -t wav -D hw:0
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is hw:0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 2.731614

p.s. this test, I'm pretty sure is not exercising my subwoofer... it says 'rear center' and seems to come from the same physical speaker as the 'front center' output comes from. Is there some lower-level command I can use to generate a pure tone from the subwoofer, so I can compare and contrast the location?
