Comment(by coling):

 Can you use the device via alsa as "iec958:0" e.g. aplay -D iec958:0

 PA relies on lower level alsa constructs to make it work, so even if it
 works with hw:0,1, then it doesn't really help us unless it's wrapped up
 properly.

 You can "hack" in support by editing the mixer path scripts or even
 writing a custom mixer profile for the device (and assigning it via a udev
 rule) by fiddling with the files in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/.
 They are all hand editable (tho' be careful not to change too much that
 you break it!) and do not require PA to be recompiled (just restarted).

 If the alsa level access works fine with the iec958 device, then please
 attach the output of "amixer -c0" and "pacmd list" to this bug.
