Folks,
I understand that pulseaudio is the new thing in Ubuntu and it has a plugin to make alsa work through pulseaudio. I also understand that alsa is more reliable than pulseaudio at the moment.
I am trying to get six channel out on the onboard audio. By following the following link, I got it to work:

What I am confused about is the relationship between pulseaudio and alsa in this case. How can modifying /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (which is at the topmost stack) change the behavior of speaker-test (which is at a lower stack)?
Also, how can you find out if pulse-audio is using alsa and not some other plugin?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
