PulseAudio 0.9.14 does not detect ICE1724 SPDIF

[robhancock]

Since installing a bunch of Fedora 10 upgrades which included PulseAudio 0.9.14, PulseAudio is not detecting the IEC958 SPDIF output on my Chaintech AV710 sound card (ice1724 driver). 0.9.13 seemed fine, you could select the SPDIF output as the default in the PulseAudio Volume Control applet, but now it doesn't show up at all.

Adding this to /etc/pulse/default.pa makes it show up again:

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1

Some bug in device detection perhaps?

This is what shows up for sinks with the above option set:

We actually never supported SPDIF properly. 0.9.15 is the first version that will.
