I have had reproducible lock-ups on shut-down (at the shutting down ALSA stage) of my AMD64 machine (Asus M3A78Pro motherboard, BIOS 1701 01/27/2011, CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor) running the 64 bit Linux kernel more recent than 3.12 when *both* radeon.audio=1 was set and I had been running audacity 2.0.5. (iommu=noaperture is also set).
The problem was reproducible with the stock Debian kernel linux-image-3.13-rc6-amd64 version 3.13~rc6-1~exp1.
The machine is using an ATI/AMD 3850HD video card with a DVI cable to a DVI input on my monitor, and the default audio device is the motherboard's on-board audio device:
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

ALSA: hda - Fix possible races in HDMI driver Some per_pin fields and ELD contents might be changed dynamically in multiple ways where the concurrent accesses are still opened in the current code. This patch fixes such possible races by using eld->lock in appropriate places.

When running audacity from the command line there was the following output:

I am happy to supply further information or run further tests to help in isolating the problem and verifying a solution.
Could you build the kernel with lockdep kconfig and see whether it reports errors?
Reverting the commit doesn't work cleanly. Instead, you can try to simply comment out all mutex_lock(&per_pin->lock) and mutex_unlock(&per_pin->lock) calls in patch_hdmi.c to see whether it's a mutex deadlock.
thanks,
