Should be (depends on the actual codec your vendor used) - more likely the
problem is pulseaudio.

While this gives a method for getting around the limitations of PA, it certainly
points out how manual these features are. In the days of oss the front and back
channels showed up as two dsp devices (at least on some cards) and the
application could be told what to use, including sending one source to the
"front" dsp and another to the "back" dsp, allowing my remote speakers to please
my wife while I listened to something else.
When ALSA first came out the channels could be changed in a GUI, now one must be
root and edit text files to accomplish the same thing. And in a world where
laptops are more common all the time, and better hardware is a dock or a plug
away, instead of making the process as automated as plugging in a USB keyboard
or a network cable.
