Diverting (well, sealing) the thread...<br>

I see that some of the ATI based cards have an asic to pick-up the
SPDIF audio and route it through to HDMI (even with cards that do HDMI
via a DVI -> HDMI adaptor). None of those nasty internal jumper
cables to get the digital out! So the question is then, where are the
ATI cards at in respect to hardware decoding under Linux?<br>

Yeah, there are loads of fanless Nvidia solutions all the way up to 9xxx
series, do remember you want 512MB memory though. VDPAU is pretty exciting.
