#576: No way to select HDMI sink except pavucontrol
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
The only way I can make pulseaudio use my NVidia HDMI audio output is to
select it as the "Profile" in the Configuration tab of pavucontrol, which
I have to do every time I restart the server. The HDMI ALSA device is
hw:0,3. I've put:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,3
set-default-sink
in /etc/pulse/default.pa but it doesn't make any difference.
I guessed at 'alsa_output.hw_0_3' because the output of the list command
includes:
name: <alsa_output.hw_0_3>
but 'paplay -d alsa_output.hw_0_3 ...' causes the error "Stream errror: No
such entity".
One of the reasons I'm reporting this as a bug is because the
documentation makes several references to sink and device names, but
nowhere does it explain how to specify a name. And as they are not
discoverable either, this makes an essential feature effectively useless,
which is why I'm reporting it as a bug.
