That's right.
Put this in your ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
  device 7
}

And "aplay  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" should work (without
-D because you do not want to specify the device).

Once this is secure, fire KDE, update your kmix conf to use the default
device and everything should work.

What is happening is that flash use your default sound device, bypassing
kmix. This is why you need to put your HDMI as default.
