I won't be telling you what to one way or the other about pulseaudio, but I don't expect ALSA to stop working any time soon. Just for reference, to get sound to my TV when playing video with mpv (originally a fork of mplayer, so possibly accepts most of the same parameters that would work for you in smplay), I use this parameter: --audio-device=alsa/hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 Looking at your aplay output from the old kernel, putting this in Smplay might work: Output driver: alsa/hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 I wonder though if it means anything that in the new aplay -l output for your TV it says, Subdevices: 0/1.
