No hw:0,0 talks directly to hardware (without conversions. Plug is a plugin to 
convert the format and sampling rate in order to connect the input to the 
output.
So the conf you wrote is equivalent to plughw:0,0 not to hw:0,0.

Anyway I recomend to use the conf you quoted or something like the following 
(which is more readable) as a default device in order to let applications play 
any kind of sound (44khz, 48khz, 8bit and so on)

pcm.digital
        {
        type hw
        card 0
        device 0
}

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm digital
}
