"Kindly forwarding this bug, please express your thoughts on Launchpad."
I believe that was a direct request for me. My thoughts: it's unfortunate that PulseAudio doesn't support mixer elements with more than 2 volume channels. It would be nice if someone would fix that. Due to lack of time, I won't be that someone, at least in the short (or even medium) term. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390474 Title: "Volume element PCM has 6 channels. That's too much!" with Terratec PHASE26 Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When connecting the Terratec PHASE26 in 16/48 mode (6 channels) I get the error "Volume element PCM has 6 channels. That's too much! I can't handle that!" and the card fails to show up in Sound Settings. Everything is fine with 24/48 mode (2 channels).
