<pre wrap="">As things are currently, *I* have no problem. The bug is that I
had to use a workaround to get speaker-test and others to work. It
isn't a "configuration problem", it happens in the *default*
configuration. In other words, if I was to reinstall today, I
would go back to a broken install with the cryptic errors
mentioned.
Of course, getting rid of the problem in the default configuration
would already be a good improvement. But speaker-test should never
fail in this way, regardless of what device is configured as the
default.

OK, configure a soundchicp which isn't supported by ALSA yet as the
default one is more or less an ALSA thing. What we can to is to
blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi but Iam sure there are soundchips
(soundcards) out there which are working well with that codec,
though. The Debian documantaion in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian helps users to configure
their soundcrads. So I close this bug herewith.

A bug report should only be closed when the bug has been resolved.
If you don't know how to fix a bug, simply leave the report open. If
you believe a bug cannot be fixed, the report can be tagged wontfix
(which is very rarely appropriate).<br>
<br>
In this case, there are apparently 2 ways to make progress:<br>
<ol>
<li>If, as your reply implies, the chip is not supported, support
can be introduced.</li>
<li>In my case, where the problematic chip is not the only one and
another chip works fine, another chip can be made the default.<br>
</li>
</ol>
