What does the EDID contain when there is an HDMI output but cable is not plugged in? If it's possible to distinguish the two cases of no HDMI output at all and HDMI output with nothing plugged in, then it would be possible to implement automatic ignoring of non-existent HDMI devices in PulseAudio. It would seem more appropriate to do that already in the kernel, though.
