Hrm... I wonder if maybe the problem has anything to do with the fact that
the cards have hardware mixing and can be opened multiple times?

I can confirm the file handle leak on /dev/snd/timer only happens if I
have the "Analog Surround 5.1 Output" Profile selected instead of
"Analog Stereo Duplex".  Three file handles to /dev/snd/timer are left
open each time a sound is played with the 5.1 profile:

overri...@citadel-station:~$ ls -l /proc/$(pgrep pulseaudio)/fd|grep timer |
wc -l
12
overri...@citadel-station:~$ ls -l /proc/$(pgrep pulseaudio)/fd|grep timer |
wc -l
15
overri...@citadel-station:~$ ls -l /proc/$(pgrep pulseaudio)/fd|grep timer |
wc -l
18

This using a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card.
