Yes, it seems something recent on my systems, too. I don't know what
it's supposed to be, nor do. It does almost (*) nothing, here.
I have an motherboard with some "pro audio" named hardware, which I'm
not actually making use of, so I don't know if it's pulling a name from
that, or if it's Linux's name for something else.
* In that if "Pro Audio" option is set in the sound preferences, I get
silence from just about everything. If I run VLC and leave it playing
music, I can then go into VLC's audio menu, audio device sub-menu, and
see a list of six "Built-in Audio Pro" numbered devices (see the list
below), and one of them produces sound (no. 7), another produces
intermittent sound (no 10), the rest apparently do nothing.
Built-in Audio Pro
Built-in Audio Pro 3
Built-in Audio Pro 7
Built-in Audio Pro 8
Built-in Audio Pro 9
Built-in Audio Pro 10
I'm listening to sound on a HDMI monitor with built-in speakers. I've
no idea if there's "normal default" channels in HDMI, and extra ones
(surround?) for other purposes. My monitor has no information, nor
options, about audio channels. And pulse audio seems to be completely
lacking in documentation.
