This desktop has 2 sound cards, an integrated Realtek ALC887 and a
Trinity APU with HDMI audio:

speaker-test works if I invert the order of cards (modprobe
snd_hda_intel index=1,0).  The problem could be that speaker-test
tries to use the first card and fails to realize it isn't
supported.
You can fix the order of the souncards. Please post the output of
$ lsmod | grep snd
and tell us which soundcard you prefer to be them number 0.
See /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian.

Yes, I already permanently worked around the issue by creating an asound.conf which 
contains "defaults.pcm.card 1" (thanks anyway).

I don't necessarily have a preference between the cards, but of course as long 
as the HDMI card is broken or unsupported, I'll want the motherboard's card to 
be the default.


Although I booted with radeon.audio=1 and am using
Linux 3.8, I didn't manage to get any sound from the HDMI card.
The Radeon HD 7660 is based on Northern Islands, but it appears to
be a mix of Northern and Southern Islands, and Southern Islands
HDMI audio is not yet supported.  This problem existed before I
upgraded ALSA.
This sounds more like a driver problem. You can check at [0] wether
soundcards are supported or not.

Both audio chips in the PC are not actual sound cards. One is integrated to the 
motherboard, the other is in the APU.
