Has anyone else noticed the added product page? I'm almost certain that by now, the 4000-series ATI cards will have only limited LPCM with no PAP and so no different than the analog I'm using now.
I doubt anyone can confirm that until after the card released. We just not sure if you don't plug the HDMI in to this card, will it have any problem such as sync is one thing that I can think of right away. Even work, it might have other problems... Once we have that in hand, I sure can let you know. But before that except Asus please don't take it as official answer yet.

Just an idea, you could set up dual output (Clone wouldn't work) with the primary being VGA and secondary being HDMI. Connect VGA to your Panny and loop the HDMI through the Xonar into your AVR. The HDMI wont be empty just a blank windows desktop although be careful you don't lose the mouse
It shouldn't be that hard for them to add bitstreming into either video card or the IGP. AMD 48xx supports HDMI muti-channel PCM like a free gift on top of the video function. I still don't understand why it is hard to get a solution out.

The protected audio path has to have been designed in from the beginning. It is not something which can be added later (in hardware). It either has the PAP/PAVP hardware already or it never will.
It's expensive being norwegian.. Normally the "reality" rate of exchange for us is 1 USD equals 10 NOK. If a produkt is 200 USD it will be 2000 NOK regardless of exchange rates (the current exchange rate for usd is 1 USD equals 5.40 NOK)

What exactly is PAP/PAVP hardware? Is it just HDMI/HDCP to encrypt the output? It doesn't include some kind of hardware interface for the PCI-e bus, does it? I don't see how they could somehow change that standard to suit the whims of Hollywood . . .

Or 200 GBP

$380 will be leaving me waiting for another year for something else. I can build an HTPC for that (just did actually) and although I want HD audio, it isn't worth the cost of more than a stand alone.

Considering you have purchased 313 discs of a Dead format and 250 discs of a more expensive format, does the price of the computer really matter to you? That is a heck of a lot of discs!
I doubt it will be retailed at $380 at US. I think that it will be around $200.
