PulseAudio ignores selected output device with USB soundcard ESI U24XL

Hi,
I'm using an ESI U24XL USB soundcard, which has both analog and S/PDIF in-/outputs (and is supposed to be fully supported by ALSA) with Pulseaudio.

However, regardless of what I choose as the output device, sound is always ouput on both the analog and S/PDIF ouputs. The volume setting of S/PDIF is ignored, while that of the analog out is applied to both, so I'm guessing that regardless of setting, the analog device is the actual selected output in pulseaudio, which then somehow gets mapped to both physical outputs.

Any idea what is going on? At least I have sound, but it would be nice to be able to individually address the outputs.

My ship don't crash! She crashes, you crashed her!

So do I understand that correctly, there appears to be only one volume control (PCM) and one sink (IEC958)?
