The question is whether alsa utilities will run on nodes like pcmC0D0p in such a situation?...The device nodes created under /dev and in proc file system show different device numbers (minor numbers are different).

I find that the device nodes created in the /dev/snd for Control, Timer and pcmC0D0 have different minor numbers from the class devices created by the ALSA core.
The help text for the --enable-dynamic-minors option (when using the alsa-driver package) or the CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS option (when using the in-kernel ALSA) says that this can be used only when the machine is running udev. (If you are actually running udev, you don't need the snddevices script).
I just did kernel prints to capture the minor numbers
These numbers are also available in /proc/asound/devices.
