[solved] sound with hdmi in pulseaudio

I have dwm installed, and the minimal pulse audio configuration such that sound works with firefox.
If I plug in an external tv, I can control it via xrandr, but sound is not working (for example in firefox): I can send it sound via

 aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav 

but cannot see it in alsamixer. I think I just need to know how to instruct pulseaudio to use that output.

Re: [solved] sound with hdmi in pulseaudio

I found my answer in the wiki:
edit /etc/pulse/default.pa as suggested, restart it and then issue

 pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo+input:analog-stereo
