The major problem of Analog Mono output is clipping

it seem pulseaudio just add the left and right channels instead of
half of the left and right channels and the sound is distorted

why database contrain invalid format since it is a clean install of
ubuntu 12.04l

D: [pulseaudio] module-device-restore.c: Database contains invalid
data for key: sink:alsa_output.pci-0000_04_02.0.analog-mono:null
D: [pulseaudio] module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink
alsa_output.pci-0000_04_02.0.analog-mono becomes idle, timeout in 5
seconds.
I: [pulseaudio] resampler.c: Forcing resampler 'copy', because of
fixed, identical sample rates.
D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c: Channel matrix:
D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:        I00   I01
D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c:     +------------
D: [pulseaudio] resampler.c: O00 | 1.000 1.000
I: [pulseaudio] remap.c: Using generic matrix remapping
