Comment 3 for bug 672420

Can we fix this bug with ballance? Or it must be fixed in pulseaudio?
And what can we do for add support surround4.1, 5.1, 7.1 and other configurations?
Because configuring different volumes per channel in surround systems needs more often than in only stereo system.
I think better is to store each volume per-channel, instead of ballance.
I have create the bug in pulseaudio about this: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/874
