I think this makes them configuration files which should reside under /etc:

In order to get 7.1 sound working over HDMI, you must edit files in
/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets.

way of packaging of config files oddly placed by upstreams.
Since 5.0 has just been released fixing it in upstream would take very
long time.
BTW I would like to upload 5.0 to experimental after uploading 4.0-7. :-)

I'm not an expert on this, but this may support the change:

...
RAOP:
RAOP uses two channels for streaming music: a control channel which
uses RTSP and
a data channel for sending the raw data. Upon startup, iTunes initiates a RTSP
connection to the Airport on port 5000. This exchange is shown below:
