--- Comment #21 from Tanu Kaskinen <tanuk at iki.fi> ---
I think it's a real fix. Not a nice fix, but the fact is that things will break
in PulseAudio if alsa defines "front" to be the same as "hdmi". Strictly
speaking "front" is allowed to be any device that has a front-left,front-right
channel map, but in practice it shouldn't overlap with other device
definitions, because PulseAudio needs to tell analog and HDMI devices apart.
There's no separate definition for analog devices, so PulseAudio assumes that
"front" is analog, and usually that assumption is correct.

I'll send the patch to the alsa developers. Thanks for testing!
