While testing latest pulseaudio from git i made an a52 setup which can be used from
pulseaudio out of the box, i want to share this with other users. Pulseaudio calls a 
device with a parameter (card index), in the a52 case as a52:0. The A52 plugin by 
default has not an index and it's assumed from alsa-lib to not be used with one. I
hope you can get this also included to upstream source.

My example:
#####
# Description: This will make it possible to use a52 with PulseAudio out of the box. It 
#              may be useful for other usecases. Just include this in your ~/.asoundrc .

pcm.a52 {
        type a52
        @args.0 { 
                type integer
                default 0
                }
        }

# Usage: aplay -D plug:a52:0 /foo.wav
#####

Thanks
