This wouldn't be a Samsung C560S, would it? I have that working just
fine with also an Intel HDMI chipset. It's a different one, though.

I do remember having played with pulseaudio once on my home audio
system, and having things go wrong then. Did you try this without using
pulseaudio at all? Just disable the daemon, and try again. I don't
expect this to actually solve the problem, but it might. If that works,
it's clearly pulseaudio at fault...
