Sapphire Board with HDMI, inc. Sound

[_xxx_]

My personal opinion is that if the video card makers are not idiots they should simply put a plug on the video card where a sound solution can pipe in the music data, if they made it a standard then you could add sound to HDMI, but let some other utility do the work for the sound and it simply pass through into the hdmi cable.

What would that be good for? Just for saving an additional cable?

Yup, and for a normal (l)user it'd make hooking up an HTPC to your TV a whole lot simpler.
