Public bug reported: I want to split the 4.0 output into 2x2.0 outputs. This is my config for /etc/pulse/default.pa

But does not work on Ubuntu 20.04, nor Fedora 32. Both 20.04 and f32 use version 13.99.1 of Pulseaudio, so I suspect the problem to be with this version. When I speak about A and B, I am referring to the device description given in the 2 lines above, line 1 being A and line 2 being B. What is happening on 20.04 and f32 is if I comment out A, then B will work. If I comment out B, A will work, but both A and B are defined, then only A will work. If B is defined first, and then A, something else weird happens where A will work, but is sent out through B, and B will work as expected. A discussion on Reddit, another user has version 13.0 on NixOS and his similar UMC404HD works fine. Here is a link to the info on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/comments/fqmhbe/pulseaudio_and_multichannel_interfaces/ftkq7ov I know this is probably a pulseaudio bug, but I could not figure out how to submit a bug report to them.
