So as I play around with XBMC on Ubuntu 8.04 I'm finding audio over HDMI more annoying and useless by the day. I'm wondering is that happens to be the only caveat should one use 9.10 or 10.04?
If so.. what version will compile under 10.04 and will HDMI video + Optical audio continue to work as it currently does? I could always find out for myself (I probably will later) but I imagine others have already tried this.
