Originally posted by Figueiredo View PostThe point I was trying to make is not related to the total amount of third party IP, but the relative amount, i.e., intel has been able to release PM code and hardware video accelaration. I assume this is because those blocks are completely desinged in house or at least contain very little third party IP.
Originally posted by Figueiredo View PostYou are probably right about the small closed source module. But I thought that UVD and PM were right there next to HDMI audio in the queue to get approval to release code. Wouldn't in these cases a "big module" be an alternative?
Originally posted by Figueiredo View PostAlso, maybe you should point out to the AMD execs that Chromebooks are starting to get traction. Samsung, acer, lenovo and now HP are puting out models, and all of them, with the exeption of samsung with "intel inside". So the argument that OEMs are not requesting linux support is getting weaker by the minute...

A little bit offtopic: Does HDMI audio means support for 8 channel LPCM? (that's the only feature I need). Does either frglx or radeon support that?

Originally posted by bridgman View PostI think the limiting factor right now is the audio driver's ability to generate the bitstream rather than the graphics driver's ability to multiplex the bitstream onto the HDMI audio/video output. Not sure if the graphics driver would be fully ready to handle it but I believe the graphics driver is ahead of the audio driver right now.
