ErrI guess i should have read the entire thing first....
Dunno, with my solution, I've found the UI volume follows whatever volume I have set in xbmc... <shrug>

in winBlows i have sound... so i knew it was a setting
$ alsamixer shows IEC958 0 on card 0
$ alsa -c 1 to unmute IEC958 1
... it took me 2 weeks to figure that out

i couldnt find much on the wiki for HDMI audio ?
hopefully we can save the next dude 4 hours

another on-topic Q > why HDMI audio begin 2~3sec AFTER the video when FF/RW'ing / pausing ?
is this a result of the solution i'm using (binding ALSA.defult to hw 1:3) ?
... does this delay go away when HDMI is slaved to analog ?
... can this be controlled by alsa ?

the other thread you're talkin about is 100 pages strong
would you hit me with a $cat /etc/asound.conf please
