It is possible that HDMI audio is pulled from an unknown i2c bus on the video chip. 3dfx did that a long time ago with their 3500 card for their tv tuner portion.
I think at this point, unless Steven knows more, this may be unsupported until nVidia adds support in their driver or opens up part of the spec.

Notice we use the "Other Digital" as the jack. Is that possibly causing a problem? IEC958 shows up, but doesn't provide output to HDMI devices (that I've tested).
At a user level, this is definitely what I've experienced.
Are there any suggestions for testing if my current ALSA install /should/ work, or how to find out if something is misconfigured, or will simply not work?
Do you have the binary ATI driver installed? Several users have reported that it's required for HDMI audio to work.
