Setting default pulseaudio sink   
How do you set the default sink in pulseaudio? I want to use HDMI audio
so I've added these lines to /etc/pulse/default.pa:

  load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,3

and

  set-default-sink alsa_output.hw_0_3

but it always starts up using the analogue sink and source and I have to
change it to Digital manually with pavucontrol.

I had to guess what name to use for set-default-sink. Why do audio
software developers insist on using umpteen different ways of naming
devices and not document any of them properly?
