Pulseaudio: Front+Rear microphones: a pulseaudio input device for each

Hi everyone,

I'm new to pulseaudio and try to achieve the following:
I want for my front mic and my rear mic a extra pulseaudio device each.
The result should be three pulseaudio devices:
-pulsemicfront
-pulsemicrear
-pulse (all outputchannels + line in)

The idea is, when having only one pulsedevice, I can have only one inputsource. Playing ultrastar, I can now choose Pulse as device and I get one mic (rear or front as choosen in pavucontrol for example) working.
But I want configure both microphones.

For a solution I found the example at the german wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Pulseau … er.C3.A4te (But it is for splitting output, not for input)
I changed my files to following:
/etc/asound.conf: http://pastebin.com/nmmnejsH
/etc/pulse/default.pa http://pastebin.com/43HBaMTn (lines 51 + line 52)

Now starting pulseaudio gives this error:
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=analog-input-microphone-front"): initialization failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Konnte Daemon nicht initialisieren.
