If i set load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,3 to 0,3 i get no sound settings at all, can't see anything, and steam crashes.
If i set it to either 0,7 or 0,8 i can get into steam, i can see the sound settings (pointing to nothing as you explained) but i got no sound.

Do I need to do something with PulseAudio to get 5.1 surround working, like this maybe?
I tried it, and the pink noise 6 channel test works, but I don't notice anything in Steam (could be because my gamepc doesn't have any speakers connected to it, except for 2.0 built-in speakers in my monitor).

Strange, I'm no expert with pulse so I can only tell you my personal experience with it.
Here's my aplay -l
http://paste.ubuntu.com/10292014/
My default.pa looks identical to yours
http://paste.ubuntu.com/10292001/
If I were you, my next step would be to check the debug log output from steam to see why it's crashing.
[edit] I would also note that I do not have a .asoundrc on my system. Not sure if that's relevant...
RE: [RELEASE] Steam Launcher - Start Steam Big Picture Mode from within Kodi - Raytestrak - 2015-02-19
I was wondering if it's possible to control Steam with a harmony remote. Reason behind this is that I have games that require my xbox wireless controller to be connected directly to my game PC, especially for emulators and some ubisoft games that have mismatched controls. This works fine in game, but that means I can't control Steam on the streaming computer with the controller.

Raytestrak yeah using irxevent, guide in first post, though you need to be using lirc
Bysimba cool. Disable the auto updating in that file so you don't lose your changes.

Absolutely! I control my media pc (kodi and steam) with a harmony remote over bluetooth configured as a PS3 BD remote.

Thanks, I'll try it this weekend!
edit:
Had some extra time, did it already. Had to install lirc-x first.
Code:
sudo apt-get install lirc-xOnly thing I need to get to work is Alt-F4. It's only picking up the F4
Code:
begin
prog = irxevent
button = KEY_SOP
config = Key ALT-F4 CurrentWindow
repeat = 1
endI've tried ALT_L instead of ALT, ALT_R ... it only does F4 (for snes9x, which you can't kill exit while streaming, except for Alt-F4). I've also tried RootWindow instead of CurrentWindows, but no success so far.
Mmh ... F4-ALT_R is working with currentwindow, only not in snes9x. ALT_R-F4 only does F4. If I press STOP on my remote in Steam, it quits Steam. But in snex9x I need to press Alt-F4 on a physical keyboard.

Hi, I'm using Kodibuntu. When I try to install the addon or the Repository, it gives me an "Add-on does not have the correct structure" when installing from zip file.
EDIT: A redownload fixed it. Disregard.

Xubuntu, getting an "ERROR CHECK KODI.LOG FOR DETAILS".
Sorry, I'm a windows guy, just switched, and I can't find my log file =(
Any suggestions?
RE: [RELEASE] Steam Launcher - Start Steam Big Picture Mode from within Kodi - MasterPhW - 2015-02-24
I want to use the SteamLauncher with BigPicture Mode with my DRM free Indie Games.
So I don't need a up-to-date client etc., but it still checks for a new client version everytime I start Steam, even in offline mode! Is there anything I can do to stop it?
Also is it possible to open the games tab from the beginning? I don't want to go into music or the shop, I have enough games in steam for my real game PC...
The "-silent" boot argument seems to be ignored aswell...

Not sure - that's a question for the steam forums.
