Not sure if we're talking about the same thing here. I wasn't suggesting  
we make devices not show. Only that the module connecting PA to jack would  
be stereo by default.

Are you saying you would be using jack through you firewire device to get  
surround, instead of what I would assume you have, an onboard device that  
also has surround support directly with PA?
Why use jack for that?
