There is the problem: alsa 1.0.16 don't have an iec958 device defined
for hdmi per default.

Try putting the attached asound.conf unter /etc, and then run mplayer
like this:

mplayer -ac hwac3 -ao alsa:device=iec958=1 2041_20090208074700.mpg

It's important that you use the "iec958" device instead of the "hw"
device. Then you should see something like:
(II) RADEONHD(0): RHDHdmiUpdateAudioSettings: playing with 2 channels,
48000 Hz sampling rate, 16 bits per sample,
(II) RADEONHD(0): RHDHdmiUpdateAudioSettings: 0xa1 IEC60958 status bits
and 0x02 category code
in your xorg log file. Getting 0xa1 for the IEC60958 status bits instead
of 0x01 is the important thing here.

If it still doesn't works, then alsa is doing something wrong inside the
kernel driver and we need to change this.

Good luck,
Christian.
