I tried that (2.6.28-rc4) and I got a tone from gnome-sound-properties'
test again, but aplay etc still gave errors. Then I realised the video
driver hadn't initialised properly so there was no acceleration
whatsoever. I rebooted, which fixed the video, but killed the HDMI audio
again.

Oh well, at least that's made up my mind, a replacement motherboard is
absolutely essential.
