Refer to the log PA can open mono playback and mono capture using hw:0
D: alsa-mixer.c: Profile output:analog-mono+input:analog-mono supported. PA can also open front:0 stereo playback D: alsa-mixer.c: Profile output:analog-stereo supported. But PA fail for open front:0 for stereo capture because of the lock of ctl elem 'EMUU10K1 PCM Send Routing' and 'EMU10K1 PCM Send Volume' and those locks had already been locked by the front playback device when PA open front device Those two controls mentioned in http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa- kernel.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/sound/alsa/SB-Live-mixer.txt associated with front device in http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa- lib.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/conf/cards/EMU10K1.conf I: (alsa-lib)setup.c: Cannot lock ctl elem PA should not open front , surround40 for capture I: alsa-sink.c: Device doesn't support mmap(), falling back to UNIX read/write mode. I: alsa-sink.c: Cannot enable timer-based scheduling, falling back to sound IRQ scheduling. I: client.c: Created 0 "ConsoleKit Session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session3" D: module-console-kit.c: Added new session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session3 D: main.c: Got org.pulseaudio.Server!

I: (alsa-lib)pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed E: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! E: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_emu10k1'.
