Pulse Audio Virtual Device | Making it a 5.1 Channel audio device, and then distribute individual channels...
What I am looking for is a way to make an aggregate device that allows you to split out the individual channels of the virtual device to individual channels of separate hardware devices.
I was looking for how to do this so that I could set up a 5.1 audio setup using large Bluetooth speakers, and many individual Bluetooth adapters. This would allow you to make a wireless, Bluetooth powered small speaker setup.
I have not found a way to do this with pulse audio on Ubuntu 18.04 yet, and have tried researching into loop devices and sinks. I personally think I may be missing something. It is ok not use pulse audio as long as it will work on Ubuntu 18.04
Thanks, Mac

Have a look at the module-combine-sink Pulseaudio module. You'll need a channel_map as described under Device Drivers on the same page.
