Thank you very much, but I need (for so long I don´t have a NAS) more than 2 S-ATA ports on it.
Gonna take a look for new hardware.

@David1977 - just be aware that the HD-Audio restriction on ATI devices applies to linux specifically. I'm using an AMD Fusion board with ATI graphics and HDMI sound. Works fine on WIndows 7/8 with ATI Catalyst drivers. I'm waiting patiently for ATI/AMD to sort out the linux situation - just so you know you have options!

Anybody who was having issues with device enumeration, a pull request was recently merged that changed how this worked. Pull the latest changes from master and compile. See if that fixes your issues.

Hey thanks for the update.
I just tried it, with xbmc built without pulse audio (and the daemon paused before starting xbmc), it only sees my motherboard output (ie the intel one) not the hdmi ATI one.
It also freezes when going through default (not sure why? maybe because on my system default is pulse).
I rebuilt xbmc with pulse support and started it without pausing pulse and this time it all works!
I can play passthrough or decoded streams with no problem: that's a first since I started using XBMC!
I always had to kill/pause pulse to get passthrough before.
Last annoying thing, is that when I pause the passthrough stream in XBMC, I can see that my receiver sees that (for example it switched from DTS to multichannel stereo), BUT no other player can access the audio...
output from mplayer while a DTS movie is paused in XBMC:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Device or resource busy
Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'
This might be a pulse issue and not xbmc though...
Anyway thanks!
