Bug Description
[Impact]
* User is only able to get mono audio from steelseries headsets because they provide both a stereo and mono output. PA selects the mono output by default.
* This should be backported to stable releases because this fix is
isolated to code that only applies to the affected headsets.
Additionally other gaming headsets may be more easily enabled by adding
ATTRS{idVendor}
to /lib/udev/
LS31 which I own.
* The upload fixes the bug by conditionally setting a pulseaudio profile for the headset based on specific usb vendor and product ids in the udev rules.
[Test Case]
1. Acquire headset.
2. Open sound settings, and click test speakers.
3. Only option available will be mono sound
[Regression Potential]
* Risk of regressions should be mitigated to those who own the headset. In which case it is likely that their headset is already not working.
[Other Info]
* All patches originate from upstream pulseaudio, and are documented as
such including the shas.
* I will be pursuing enabling other similar headsets in the coming weeks.
* I plan to work with upstream pulseaudio to enable my own headset and to
also make the headset templates backported here more generic.
