System: XBMCBuntu - Eden
Intel Core i3
GT430 on OpenGL version: 4.1.0 NVIDIA 280.13
Linux 3.0.0-17-generic-pae
My plan of action based on what I read is to:
1) upgrade Nvidia Drivers to 304.43
2) Install Frodo on top of Eden
Is this an ok Upgrade Path? And will this allow HD Audio (DTS-MA + DD TrueHD) to work properly with AudioEngine?
From what I read this seems like what I need to do... Anything missing?

Nah looks good. Remember to backup your xbmc data folder just icase something goes wrong, but it should be fine. You probably will have to redo your xorg.conf as the way nvidia handles refresh rates has changed in the newer drivers. Personally I would take this opportunity to upgrade the os to 12.04 as that is a long term support release with 5years (4and a bit now) of updates.

Disclaimer. I know nothing about Linux. Question.-- with the 12.04 LTS release would new kernels be upgraded as they become available? Say, 3.5 gets upgraded to 3.7 and above.?

12.04 is on 3.2
12.10 is on 3.5
13.04 will probably be on 3.8
Which should I go to during the Frodo upgrade?

Having been a long time Ubuntu linux user of XBMC both Live and XBMCbuntu and 12.04 desktop, my advice is to upgrade on the same kernel and get everything settled down before making significant system changes. The advice to move to 12.04 is sound. We recently upgrade all clients from 11.x to 12.04 with no problems all devices using Eden.
Cheers

I would advice you to try the newest Nvidia drivers first and only fall back to older versions if the newer ones don't work for some reason. I'm using the 310.xx myself and it's working perfectly.
