I'm waiting for a 7.1ch PCM audio over HDMI capable PCI-E graphics card.
Currently Nvidia does great job with VDPAU video but SPDIF pass-trough
limited audio is a disappointment. There is working 7.1ch PCM audio in
Linux with AMD and Intel graphics but video acceleration is not usable.

My cheap 8400GS that I bought about years ago looks still like a good
solution (plus SPDIF from mobo) :^(
