What does `alsamixer -c0 -Vall' and pavucontrol show you.  AFAIU, you
should be able to see the state of your hdmi device with the alsamixer
command and pavucontrol should let you choose the device as output.

Suvayu,

Thank you for helping me.  Those were two interesting pieces of software.

Alsamixer -C0 -Vall results in :
 Card: HD-Audio Generic                                 F1:  Help               │
│ Chip: ATI R6xx HDMI                                    F2:  System information │
│ View: F3: Playback  F4: Capture  F5:[All]              F6:  Select sound card  │
│ Item: S/PDIF                                           Esc: Exit               │

pavucontrol
also demonstrates that my hdmi is active.

I have tested the hdmi interface on the TV with my wifes laptop with MS
7, and it works fine.  As far as I can tell I have my laptop set to
deliver sound to the hdmi, but nothing is sent to the TV other than the
picture.  

No Cigar yet,
