AMD really pushing open source this year.

I wonder if they they are pushing code for the steambox.

so far:
UVD : hardware video decode (using vdpau)
DPM : dynamic power management.

and this weekend
GL Interop : (very important for XBMC)
and now the info needed for surround sound.

my e350 APU is now running open source gfx drivers and playing video smoothly on XBMC, some files are glitchy (HD wmv's) but mostly completely usable.

Maybe but they put very little effort into fglrx (their closed source drivers) over the years.

just glad i can move my PVR/media system over to a box with faster/bigger drives.
