No, unfortunately it doesn't. If you want to try the patch, I would
suggest the following:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep pulseaudio # this installs the required stuff
to build pa
$ sudo apt-get install devscripts # other helpers
$ apt-get source pulseaudio # this gets the current pulseaudio source
$ cd pulseaudio-5.0
# Add the patches to debian/patches dir and list them at the end of
debian/patches/series
$ dch -i "Add multichannel fallback mapping patch"
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
$ sudo debi ../pulseaudio_*.changes

And then restart pulseaudio. If this works for your use case, please do:

$ debdiff pulseaudio_5.0-13.dsc pulseaudio_5.0-14.dsc > multichannel.diff

And send us the diff so we can apply it. Unfortunately our team is a
bit underpowered at the moment so we would appreciate if you could
help us on this one.
