Bug Description
The kernel ALSA driver needs a patch applied to make audio-over-HDMI operate correctly on most supported GPUs.
The exact patch is available at http://
It'd be great if this patch could be included in the standard Ubuntu kernel(s) for any/all recent or supported distro versions.
Note 1: I believe only the nvidia driver (not nv nor nouveau) support setting up audio-over-HDMI.
Note 2: Very recent GPUs (Fermi class) are not yet supported by the driver. A second patch will be forthcoming for this at some point in time, but we have to validate operation under Linux before releasing this.

A second patch is required to support various new GPUs in the ALSA driver:
