Shouldn't we consider reverting 384a48d71520 (ALSA: hda: HDMI: Support
codecs with fewer cvts than pins, 2011-06-01) in wheezy if userspace
hasn't caught up with the new order of things?

I haven't looked deeply into this or tried it, but it seems at least
worth thinking over.

Thanks again for your help and patience,
