Don't use "hw:xxxx" devices. Always use high-level devices such as
"spdif:xxx". The former won't set up your controls correctly, the
latter will.
In reviewing the wiki I noticed the following:
---
module-alsa-sink
Provides a playback sink for devices supported by the Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture (ALSA). The sink name defaults to alsa_output.
In addition to the general device driver options described above this
module supports:
device
The ALSA device to use. (defaults to "hw:0,0")
fragments
The desired fragments when opening the device. (defaults to 12)
fragment_size
The desired fragment size in bytes when opening the device
(defaults to 1024)

Perhaps it should be updated since the device section would lead one
to believe that the hw:x,x nomenclature is the proper way to set the
device argument. I don't think at this point I'm enough of an expert
on PA to do it otherwise I would volunteer.
Actually looking at the code in alsa-sink.c the default device is not
"default" which seems like it's asking for trouble if alsa is routed to
PA :s
The wiki is actually pretty out of date overall with regards to module
documentation... I wonder if we can do something code based to
automatically update it (e.g. generate the wiki docs from the doxygen
docs in some capacity...) Hmmmmm
