*sigh*

I asked for alsa-info, not "aplay -L".

All those tower computers do not have the phantom internal speaker that you're
having, therefore your reasoning does not apply.

The phantom internal speaker is not a common bug, and it's not a bug in PA,
it's a bug in the lower layers of the audio stack. 



Tanu and Mike, I'm getting tired of arguing with you. Perhaps the most common
routing bug/request I've got over the past few years is that when HDMI is
unplugged, sound should be rerouted to internal speakers. Now that's
implemented [1] - after many discussions and at least one rewrite just to make
Tanu happy - and now you claim it's a regression and that it should be
reverted. Every routing change breaks somebody's workflow, but it's an
improvement for many, so don't revert it.

[1] At least for machines where HDMI and analog share the same sound card.
