Comment(by aelschuring):

 I can confirm Lennart's suspicions about the channel layout: spdif is
 indeed located at the two topmost channels of hw:0,0. I can use them by
 specifying the following channel map:{{{channel-map =
 aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,front-left,front-right}}}

 And I can even get simulaneous outputs on analog+digital by specifying
 front-X twice in the channel map... Lennart, can/does PA allow me to
 specify multiple separate stereo channels in the channel map? What I'm
 looking for, is the ability to specify something like this:
 {{{
 [Mapping analog-stereo-pairs]
 description = Analog Multi-Channel Split In Stereo Pairs
 device-strings = hw:%f,0
 channel-map =
 front1-left,front1-right,front2-left,front2-right,front3-left,front3-right,front4-left,front4-right,front5-left,front5-right
 direction = input
 }}}
 And then have PA offer me five separate stereo sinks...

 I don't really have a use case for five separate sinks... but the ability
 to offer two sinks (one analog, one digital) in the same profile would be
 really awesome...

 pretty please? :)
