Really? It's not that hard. It's either a device or a profile right on the very first tab of GNOME sound properties. If you're using pavucontrol, devices are on the 'Output Devices' tab, profiles are on the 'Configuration' tab. It's rather easier than doing the same thing with ALSA, really.
I know all about those. I've tried them all. I've gone through all the online discussions about how to get digital outputs to work with pulseaudio. I've hacked at the config files and tried to trace the operation. I've been doing this with every update since pulseaudio was introduced, and they're all clean installs, not upgrades. It worked just fine with ALSA. I've even run GNOME sound properties, despite not running a GNOME desktop. I haven't yet tried F18 though, because I don't yet have the spare days it takes to do that.
It just doesn't work.
It works just fine for me on F18 on media center box using a standard optical cable.
