Great, that did the trick, thanks.

So is that how pulse picks up it's device configuration, via the ALSA
config? I'm trying to do some investigation but the config file format
is a little confusing at first. I'll keep working on it anyway - I've
found a few hints via the wonder of google.
If pulse does use the alsa config to pick up it's devices, this thread
is probably quite pertinent:

Thanks again, you must get through a huge pile of emails per day!
