This is entirely sensationalist. There is no safe way to just blast audio data to any old DVI monitor. Something bad might happen, and AMD didn't want to take that risk. So they (wisely) including configuration to disable a non-standard feature when they didn't think it would be supported. The only thing I could see them doing better is allowing vendors to add themselves to the whitelist, but that amounts to starting a standards group for audio over DVI.
