I'm wondering if anyone has ac3 audio working over HDMI? My onboard card
is an HD3200.

This plays stereo OK for me:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.3 -vo xv 2041_20090208074700.mpg

This results in clicky static:

mplayer -ac hwac3 -ao alsa:device=hw=1.3 -vo xv 2041_20090208074700.mpg

in theory i have implemented AC3 pass through, but since i don't have an
AV decoder i wasn't able to test it.

Could you provide some additional informations?
Wich Distribution, Kernel and alsa Version are you using?

I'm running mythbuntu 8.04 (+ some custom changes, (ie mplayer from svn etc)).
kernel: 2.6.24-23-server

jape@vcr3:/tmp/read-edid-1.4.1$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16.
Compiled on Jan 29 2009 for kernel 2.6.24-23-server (SMP).

In your xorg log file you should see something like this:
(II) RADEONHD(0): RHDHdmiUpdateAudioSettings
Followed by the IEC60958 status bits alsa send us, could you send me
those

(II) RADEONHD(0): RHDHdmiUpdateAudioSettings: stoped with 1 channels, 48000 Hz
sampling rate, 8 bits per sample,
(II) RADEONHD(0): RHDHdmiUpdateAudioSettings: 0x01 IEC60958 status bits and
0x00 category code




Bye and thanks for testing,
Christian.
