In addition to installing the .so you need to define the a52 device
string. A config fragment for that is unfortunately not shipped
upstream with alsa iirc, but I think debian includes it. You might
want to steal it from there.
All I could was this file. Is this what you are referring to?
# a52 plugin configuration
# $Id$
pcm.a52 {
type a52 # Default :
#card 1 # 0
#rate 44100 # 48000
#channels 4 # 6
#bitrate 256 # 448
#format S16_BE # S16 (Native-Endian)
hint {
description "A52 Output Plugin"
}
}
I tried putting this file (a52.conf) in both /etc/alsa/pcm and
/usr/share/alsa/pcm.
I still only have "stereo iec958" selections in the Configuration tab.
try putting the fragmen in your ~/.asoundrc.
I'm not sure that all *.conf files are magically read from these locations.
Also make sure this shows up at a lower level first.. i.e. aplay -L
before looking for it in pulse.

Assuming you have the a52 plugin library installed, this bug report here
has a config that should work for almost any device, automatically:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518384
However, it does not work for my HDMI, because a52 assumes subdevice 0,
and my HDMI is hw:1,3 (subdevice 3).
