 i use following .asoundrc:

 pcm.a52 {
         type a52
         @args.0 {
                 type integer
                 default 0
                 }
         }


 then i start pulseaudio, in pavucontrol i set in the control-tab to the
 new digital-output 5.1 + analog input

 and try to play something, this is how it sounds: http://catscrash.info

 pulseaudio -vvvv shows this:
