Is the issue believed to be related to nvidia hdmi only ?

I just got the report from a user stating that he had issue playing

If they are like me, to get the latest stable version of alsa, they go
to alsa-project.org and download whatever is there. Today that's
1.0.25 and IMHO, that bug is a massive blocker.. I hope it will be
updated soon.
