It should be in 9.04 though.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that no hardware will work with HDMI-audio on Ubuntu 8.10 without kernel patch?

Quote: wow. way to not understand reference spec at all. cpu and ram will effect what kind of video can be played. can i play a 720p video with a celeron and 512 mb ram on that board? ir receiver should also be part of the spec.wow, way to go with the constructive/condescending comment. Ofcourse the cpu/ram will affect what video it will be able to playback, thats why I wrote that it's up to the user. Adds some flexibility. Maybe suggest something like this(examples):
________720p____1080p___killasample
e7200____*
e8200____*________*
e8500____*________*________*
As for Ram goes, it's so cheap and anything more than 2gb ddr 2 800mhz will probably(? not affect playback.
