Control is the mixer.

PA 0.9.10 only initialize the first device of a card. The reason for
that is that we cannot deduce how the devices of a card relate to each
other: are they the classic 3 stereo made to one 5.1, or are they
spdif, or what are they.

PA 0.9.15 is now able to probe the available devices properly and thus
supports easy selection of SPDIF during runtime.
