Really? It's not that hard. It's either a device or a profile right on
the very first tab of GNOME sound properties. If you're using
pavucontrol, devices are on the 'Output Devices' tab, profiles are on
the 'Configuration' tab. It's rather easier than doing the same thing
with ALSA, really.
I know all about those. I've tried them all. I've gone through all
the online discussions about how to get digital outputs to work with
pulseaudio. I've hacked at the config files and tried to trace the
operation. I've been doing this with every update since pulseaudio
was introduced, and they're all clean installs, not upgrades. It
worked just fine with ALSA. I've even run GNOME sound properties,
despite not running a GNOME desktop. I haven't yet tried F18 though,
because I don't yet have the spare days it takes to do that.
It just doesn't work.
I know the hardware works, because XBMC uses the digital output just
fine (and sounds seriously better). The motherboard is a Gigabyte
GA-X58A-UD3R although I do have an HDMI-compatible video card (and
yes, I know you have to disable audio on that, the video card is much
more recent than my PA woes).

That's weird. Definitely just some kind of bug specific to your system,
though, the normal PA experience with digital output is pretty simple.
I've had no problem with it. You don't really need to disable any output
sources in most cases, either (I haven't bothered disabling any of the
umpteen sources that appear to exist on my system, I just pick the one I
actually want to use, and it works, no problems at all). Do you have a
bug report in?
