I'm testing with the acer-aspire quirk set, and things seem to be working rather well. The headphone plug/unplug detection and speaker muting actually work :) However, I'm still not getting HDMI audio working. I'm not that familiar with IEC958, how should I have the switches set? I currently have both IEC958 and IEC958 Default PCM on. I've tried with mplayer -ao alsa:device=iec958 <mp3 file>
Basically it should be OK. I guess it's rather an issue of the video driver side. If the video driver doesn't support HDMI audio output, it doesn't work, of course.

The audio does work over HDMI though, Vista has better support for connecting to HDTV and getting the video modes right, so I was watching a DVD. Out of curiosity, I checked a box in the audio configuration for digital output, and sound started coming out of the TV.
I'll boot into Vista in a while to try to find out which device driver is doing which thing, but I'm fairly certain its the base audio driver.
