Don't invest into AMD until you know this for sure. They have a long long way to go until this will be consumable. Important features like deinterlacing or interoperation to OpenGL are still missing. Not even the basics do work properly. You know the 80/20 rule? You need 20% of the time for making 80% work. Means 80% of the effort is still to be done. Lets hope that this project does not follow fglrx and gets finished.
AMD is great on Windows but also showing they are really serious on OSS with opening UVD, OSS'ing lots of dev tools for HSA and HUMA. Driver development however, isn't great. But if you don't use live-tv, even on Linux I don't experience problems. Compressed 5.1 audio is good enough for me.
