I guess it's Alsa that detects audio device on GPU and transferrs
audio to it (for example by setting "device" in MPlayer). But radeonhd
has to enable this audio output in HDMI and set timing registers. Try
to use "mplayer -ao alse:device=hw=X.Y" WITHOUT HDMI connected. You
see what happens about speed of playing?
That's my knowledge, for more details wait for Christian :)

Read Christian's works again :)

The key word here is "back". When I switch to console audio stops
playing - that's fine. But when I switch again to X I expect audio to
resume playing.


Fianlly I also do not understand you :) You're happy to test it, but
does it actually work for you?
