Hi Diederik,

Is https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2021/03/msg00082.html
enough as an answer to your question?

> Does that also support multi-channel audio?

"pactl list sinks" says "stereo". But, as my display does not equip two speakers,
paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav and Front_Right.wav
gives no difference... I don't have a clear answer.

I wonder if the pulseaudio causes the messages by touching vc4hdmi ALSA sinks.
If it is the case, commenting out "load-module module-udev-detect" and
"load-module module-detect" from /etc/pulse/default.pa should fixes the symptom.
That messages completely went away from my Debian on RPi4B.

Best regards, Ryutaroh
