Aha, I had forgotten about the plug:hw device. It's not listed in aplay -Ll. Now that I've gotten what I asked for, I have another greedy question. If 'default' can resample to 48000 hz, how can I make it resample to 88,100 or 96,000 or some rate significantly higher than the source material such that degradation and noise is minimized? Can I do this somehow with an asound.conf? I'm trying to find where the defaults are specified on my distribution (gentoo) and coming up blank. Digging deeper into the S/PDIF problem, it seems that the driver in alsa 1.0.14 isn't describing the control necessary in /proc/asound. I can't find it there or in /etc/asound.state. I believe I am either mistaken or this is a regression from earlier versions.
