All I could was this file.  Is this what you are referring to?

# a52 plugin configuration
# $Id$

pcm.a52 {
	type a52		# Default :
	#card 1			# 0
	#rate 44100		# 48000
	#channels 4		# 6
	#bitrate 256		# 448
	#format S16_BE		# S16 (Native-Endian)
	hint {
		description "A52 Output Plugin"
	}
}

I tried putting this file (a52.conf) in both /etc/alsa/pcm and
/usr/share/alsa/pcm.

I still only have "stereo iec958" selections in the Configuration tab.

Thanks,
