Intel HDMI audio selects SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS because it runs out of the static minor numbers. I initially proposed an extended static allocation scheme here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/72916 however the idea was rejected.
Do I really need udev to get mic to work?
You can disable SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI for now. You don't need it.
Does not make sense to force everyone to use udev.
Otherwise you can't handle enough PCM devices.
Any chance to make it work without udev?
The minor numbers are almost static as long as you don't change the configuration. So, you can recreate /dev/snd/* files appropriately, if needed. Or just simply patch as you did :)
