No pulseaudio profiles for digital audio - Asus Xonar DGX

Hi all,

I am unable to usa the digital sound ports of my Asus Xonar DGX card with pulseaudio. I see four profiles for analogue audio in pavucontrol but none for digital SP/DIF.

ALSA recognizes the hardware:

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
...
card 1: DGX [Xonar DGX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: DGX [Xonar DGX], device 1: Digital [Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

and when using ALSA directly (e.g., by telling smplayer to use alsa device 1.1) digital audio works fine. However, pulseaudio apparently does not find device 1.1, I have only analogue profiles:

$ pacmd list-cards

Do you guys have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
