Rafael, this is not a hack. I doubt that we want to enable audio 
indiscriminately on all tmds based outputs, as even our dell monitor 
refuses to sync to its claimed preferred mode when there's audio on the 
same signal. When edid handling is extended, some things might start 
happening automatically, but even then you still should need to force 
audio on displays that do not advertise this.

I realised something yesterday...

Thanks to Christian, we are now the only driver that supports hdmi audio 
natively in free software. A world first!

Intel doesn't have hdmi audio.
NVidia has no real free driver and has no audio device integrated in the 
hw.
ATIs fglrx is quite non-free :)

We're the very first!

Also, congrats Christian, you finally received the dubious honour of 
having direct write access to the git repo. Now where is the rest of the 
code ;p
