Ok, followup to my own post. Aparently the hdav1.3 isn't well supported under Linux and the Geforce 9500 does support multichannel PCM hdmi. I'd rather go with an ATI card though (hd46xx or 48xx) just so I don't have to use a binary Nvidia Linux driver. Can anyone speak to the Radeon's HDMI audio support though. Does it support 6 channel PCM?
