@Jan0sh:
It does not directly mean that fglrx will also have those features directly. From what I see those registers are "absolute", which means - they are known for now, which is really good. But I think those bits set, will only be used for indication via HDMI, so that the receiver know what is coming. Let's see what the alsa change will bring.
When i looked last time into the alsa hdmi code, there is the generic version used to get hdmi audio out, but this implementation does not match at all - so we end up with just two channels, no lpcm, basically "spdif" features. It is a step in the right direction, but those registers are not enough for now to get LPCM going - hopefully i am proofed wrong here :-)
