Hmm, yea, all my recent boots (with and without a blacklist) have been
putting the HDMI device first regardless. So now I'm not so sure
about my workaround.

Thanks for the pointer! I initially set frontend's sound to
ALSA:default and added:
pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia
ctl.!default hdmi:NVidia
to .asoundrc. But I've since changed the frontend's sound to
explicitly specify "ALSA:hdmi:NVidia", and that also appears to work.
Now I just need to get the m/c to boot with re-ordered cards to
confirm that things work in all cases.
