Why are these module aliases being created by hand and not automated like all other aliases that contain device ids like this are?
Because of the bad design :)
The HD-audio codec isn't created as a normal device but just as an own object of HD-audio driver. The module alias is used when hd-audio codec driver loads its codec-specific code, and it does request_module() manually.
The module alias isn't automated because there won't be much additions that require manual alias any longer. Most of new codecs are grouped in the vendor id, thus no need for addition. The only still necessary case is HDMI audio like this, and there will be only a few per year at most.
Of course, it'd be better to be moved to a more standard model, but it's been left as is, partly due to a historical reason, partly not to break the current user-space setup, and partly lack of my time.
thanks,
