This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:57:26 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 4 Lennart Poettering 2012-07-17 14:57:42 UTC
PulseAudio simply picks up the available surround devices of ALSA. Reassigning to the kernel, since the kernel apparently doesn't expose the surround devices of card properly.

Please attach the output alsa-info.sh generates, so that we can debug the driver issue here.
