On my laptop it also happens to see two audiohd devices, one from
the realtek(?) driving the headphone jack and built-in speakers,
another from the Radeon HDMI which is currently not useful to me.
However, after the installation I got the HDMI one as audio/0,
and while some programs agreed to use symlinks and config files
pointing to the audio/1 etc. device nodes, the "proper" solution
for me was to hack into /etc/path_to_inst (IIRC) and replace
device node numbers for the two audiohd entries there, and reboot.
Thus the audible audio card became number 0 and made more programs
happy. I heard them say so ;p
