[Bug 1371963] [NEW] cannot set default audio device with alsa (pulse audio disabled, can only get audio to work in VLC)

 

Public bug reported:

Not very literate in Linux, had to disable Pulse Audio to get 5.1 sound
to work. VLC will playback audio just fine by selecting sound card
within the application. No/incorrect default sound card for system,
cannot change through Gnome ALSA mixer.
