If you pull Openelec from GIT to build it, there is no patch required anymore. They took it into the kernel already.

Only thing you need todo, if you just use HDMI for video/sound is the following:

Ssh in and type nano storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-spdif-for-hd-audio.conf

remove # of these 3:
# blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
# blacklist snd_hda_codec_sigmatel
# blacklist snd_hda_codec_cirrus

press Ctrl+O, then press enter and do a reboot.

HD audio works for me on a Celeron G540 with HD2000.
