Not much help I know, but I'm pretty certain its the Realtek drivers that muck it all up too, BUT they work fine with the spdif out.
I'm running WHS on an Asus Zacate board, and spent a day trying to get Digital through the HDMI to an Onkyo TX-SR608. I could get 2 channel Analog fine, but no more. In XBMC that meant Music fine, Movies a no-go.
Gave up, ran an optical cable to the amp and bingo! all working. The Realtek demo works fine through spdif, could not get it to work with hdmi at all.
