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?
