You're missing the point. I never claimed that the ATI card would do multichannel PCM transport. It doesn't. Nor does it do TrueHD nor DTS-HD. Neither from MPC nor from PowerDVD nor from WinDVD. I mentioned the ATI card because you claimed that there'd be no system-wide audio driver for the audio part of a HDMI enabled video card - and you're clearly wrong there.

Have you found a link to backup this claim in the meanwhile? I believe you're wrong.
