Are you perhaps imagining a scenario with hundreds or thousands of lawyers and engineers working on open source documentation (which is what it would take for the kind of timeline you seem to expect) ?
If so, I have some bad news for you.

We have been working through the different areas in order of importance, starting in 2007 with modesetting and command submission, working our way through 3D acceleration and memory management over the last few years, and now we are getting to more complex (from an IP perspective) areas such as audio and UVD.
Nobody thought this was going to be easy. I'm pleased that we committed the time, money and resources to make it happen.

Well, it's not like it's no one's fault that HDMI audio is not yet out. If it were a dev issue code would have been already out, it's always a legal issue with that (see synaptics gestures).

It's not that "omg the sky is falling", but already a year has passed and AMD is still stuck in legal issues. That's really sad.
No offence here for AMD, really.

I'm sure code is sitting there somewhere and is getting dusty. If i knew how to reverse i would already started...

Originally posted by Kjella View Postif it's a third party chip with third party code it might be more lawyers than developer time required.

HDMI Audio for Evergreen
I just switched to the gallium open source driver on my Evergreen card (HD 5770), and I lost HDMI audio. On the xorg wiki I see that it's supposed to work for R600/700 cards, but not for Evergreen, even though they share the same driver.
Is anyone working on adding support for HDMI audio on Evergreen? How are the two cards different in that respect so that HDMI audio works on one but not on the other?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
