So, basically, if radeon.audio=1 is added manually, HDMI audio works (with blank screens on a lot of systems, but not here). Instead, the default is that an HDMI audio device is shown in the list of audio devices, but it is broken. This goes against the policy of having sane defaults. If HDMI audio is disabled upstream, the HDMI audio device must not be shown at all. Or, alternatively, it must be shown greyed out with instructions on how to activate it (and warnings about possibility of blank screens). For sure, the way Ubuntu 11.10 works is not the right way.
