The HDMI audio output depends on the video driver in many cases
actually because of its nature.  But, this isn't no certain fact for
all cases.  It might work in your case.  That's why I wrote "little"
chance, not "no" chance.  So, still it'd be worth to try my patchset.

(The "little" chance implies that you'll likely get no answer from
 Apple for your inquiry about the hardware details :)
