While I can't test (as it's not my h/w), I'm not 100% convinced that 
0.9.15 will fix this user's hdmi.

You say above: "On this particular card 0,0 seems to be analog and, 0,1 
hdmi.", but I don't see it that way.

 From what I can tell, hw:1,3 is HDMI (alsa.card = 1, alsa.device = 3) 
and there is no hw:1,0 hw:1,1, nor hw:1,2 (from a more extended lshal 
output)

It seems to me that "3" is the first device number to be found and the 
code in module hal-detect will simply completely miss it out as it only 
opens cards where device == 0.

Can you elaborate a bit in case my analysis is flawed?

Cheers

Col
