I agree - but I'd end up in the situation of audio over the HDMI cable having to be selected in Vista for using the TV's speakers for everyday TV viewing and then having to switch it in Vista (Set Default etc) and restart MC to get it through the sound card to my stereo wouldn't I? This is the sort of frustrating confusion I am trying to get my head around...
