"the analog and digital say it's an ALC882"
This is because ALC882 codec driver is used for many codecs, not only ALC882 codec. For example, ALC885 is using this codec driver too, so it will display ALC882 while using ALC885 codec. It is a tiny issue and Realtek should fix it.

"Not quite sure if it's the same issue as I believe this issue was related to ALSA bug"
Yes it is the same issue and patch is used to fix the null pointer message. If there is no null pointer message in dmesg, it means the bug has been fixed.

"I just hear no audio. Is this a different bug/issue?"
Yes, it is a different issue. HDMI audio should co-work with a proper graphics driver. If it is an ATI graphics card, a special graphics driver is needed. You can find the latest ATI driver from http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html to see if the card is already supported. You can contact ATI graphics driver team for a detail supporting list.

BTW, based on the info, "-Dhw:1" should be used, for example "aplay -Dhw:1 audiofile.wav".
