A nice document, thanks :)

The ALSA driver actually assumes that the monitor supports everything.

This section misses one patch:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=e6d5dcf1f625984605d362338d71162de45a6c60

This section has "44100 48000 88200" multiple times. Maybe one should
mention that those are currently shown incorrectly (as per "[alsa-devel]
HDA - hdmi_show_short_audio_desc puts wrong rates in eld#N"). Maybe also
in chapter 10, though it is a very minor issue (it just affects the
display, not the actual used values).
