Well, trying to upgrade causes aptitude to throw a small panic (6 broken
packages, wants to remove 7 before continuing), so I'm not really keen
about trying this by simply upgrading to unstable. Luckily dpkg isn't so
picky, so I manually upgraded (what I think are) the relevant packages:

ii  libpulse-mainloop-glib0                    0.9.15-2
   PulseAudio client libraries (glib support)
ii  libpulse0                                  0.9.15-3
   PulseAudio client libraries
ii  pulseaudio                                 0.9.15-3
   PulseAudio sound server
ii  pulseaudio-esound-compat                   0.9.15-2
   PulseAudio ESD compatibility layer
ii  pulseaudio-module-gconf                    0.9.15-2
   GConf module for PulseAudio sound server
ii  pulseaudio-module-hal                      0.9.15-3
   HAL device detection module for PulseAudio s
ii  pulseaudio-module-x11                      0.9.15-3
   X11 module for PulseAudio sound server


Sadly, the result remains the same: only IEC958 configuration profiles
are detected. I also verified that the working configuration (manual
module load) still works with the above choice of packages, and that
does work.

If you do a diff on the two most recent logs, you can see that after
opening front:0 fails, PA does attempt to open hw:0 instead, like you
said. Only problem is: opening hw:0 fails with the same error as front:0
(Invalid argument).
