It's still dodgy for me. Both with a Xonar DX and with the inbuilt Realtec chip on my Asus P8P67 Pro. Every time I open a window or something the sound either turns off or It suddenly goes all deep and creepy (It sounds like those movies where the kidnapper talks to the parents to give a random note ant their voice is modulated by a box to hide their identity. It's a bit creepy sounding actually). I've pretty much given up on pulseaudio. It's beyond me that it is this difficult to get 5.1 surround working in the year 2011. Windows 98 surround sound worked out of the damn box. At least Archlinux doesn't force this crap on me. I don't get why they are focusing on Unity which isn't needed at the moment, and IMHO won't nearly be ready for 11.04 and not on getting the basics actually... working.
