As Colin mentioned this smells a lot like a race between device node creation and PA picking the device up. Could you please run "udevadm monitor --udev -ssound" and paste the output it generates when you hotplug here? This should tell us if the order in which the devices are created. Might be a good idea to run it multiple times to 'verify' that the order is deterministic.
