I can confirm this bug. In order to fix this bug, a UI freeze exception will have to be granted, and someone will have to add another UI element to the output tab in the gnome-media properties window to allow the choice of how many speakers a user wishes to use.

It is possible to do this with pavucontrol, so the code from pavucontrol could be used as a base to do this work. I dare say upstream would also be receptive of this code for GNOME 2.29.
