Public bug reported:

upgrading to ubuntu 12.10 breaks the module-combine-sink feature of
pulseaudio -- the old module-combine that was removed in the newer
editions is still referenced by the paprefs program that would normally
set the combined output feature of pulseaudio; various sources give
recipies for configuring module-sink-combine instead, for example
throughthe gconf-edit setting of the system/pulseaudio/modules, however
enabling the module-combine-sink will cause the pulseaudio daemon to
abort.

documents on pulseaudio module-combine-sink are very out of date; the
instructions reference the old oss sound drivers! I did try configuring
for alsa devices hw:1,0 and hw:0,0 (as seen in the attached config
files) but these were not recognized in the sound control app attached
to the volume status bar icon or in the pulse audio volume control
