If you want to consider this a regression, it was caused by the currently best
known fix for another regression: enabling HDMI audio by default caused blank
screens and display problems. Are you seriously suggesting going back to that
would be the better?

I am suggesting that if audio is disabled by default the HDMI output must not
be advertised as an alsa device. If the device is not there users will look for
what switch to use to enable the device if the device works for them with no
side effects. The way it is now is a cable that is plugged in on both sides but
after a long search is apparently broken somewhere in between. You know,
probably from experience, that this state of affairs is no fun. That's what I'm
seriously suggesting.
