HDMI support already exists for r600/r700 based cards.

The following commit seems relevant:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=805c22168da76a65c978017d0fe0d59cd048e995

It indicates that audio is disabled by default because of problems on some
systems. You can add radeon.audio=1 to the boot parameters to try to turn
it back on.

Dueling bugzillas! This says there is no support for my card at all:

hdmi audio is not supported yet on evergreen and northern islands asics.

Statements like that always bring up the question in my mind: How the
heck does anyone know what all these code names for chip sets are and
which ones are used on which products? :-).
