In practice, NVIDIA GPUs only support sending video signals over at most two of these connectors at once, and hence the HD audio controller only allows two audio streams to be configured at once. The exact set used can be dynamically reconfigured by changing xorg.conf or using NVIDIA's tools

Recent NVIDIA GPUs include an audio controller that hosts a number of different ALSA PCM objects. For example, consider the following output from aplay -L: hdmi:CARD=NVidia_1,DEV=0 HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia_1,DEV=1 HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI HDMI

If I hack /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf to change hdmi-stereo's device-strings value to e.g. hdmi:%f,0, hdmi:%f,1, etc., then I can cause pulseaudio to open whichever subdevice I wish. This proves to me that this is simply an enumeration issue and nothing more
