ALSA works, but Pulseaudio doesn't (Samsung Chromebook)

[nermolov]

I setup everything on my chromebook pretty well, but pulseaudio is refusing to work. ALSA gives me very good playback using the built in DAISY-I2S card after I unmuted the outputs, but pulseaudio refuses to create any sinks for the card. you can see in the below output of pacmd list shows pulseaudio finding the card, but not creating any sinks. I setup pulse by just installing the pulseaudio package and restarting

Does anybody know how to either manually add a sink to pulseaudio or make it automatically detect them?
