Ah, that looks as if the default device is set to use the "pulse"
plugin then. If your distribution did that system-whide,
your /etc/asound.conf might contain something like
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
(or maybe they put a .asoundrc in /etc/skel, then you should have it in
~/.asoundrc)
So try commenting it out, paulseaudio -k, and aplay again.
"cat /proc/asound/cards" shows the current order of your devices, so
aplay -Dhw:0 == card 0
aplay -Dhw:1 == card 1
etc..

Those HDMI jacks contain both, audio and video signal output.
