There are 4 PLLs in the LX45; each continuous DVI input stream needs
one, the digital part of the DVI output needs one, the high speed DDRAM
PHY - which you probably want - needs one.

So it's 2 HDMI inputs usable continously while all the other subsystems
are operating.
Two HDMI inputs can also reasonably share a PLL as they relock fast; you
would only lose about one frame when switching (from the destination
port - as you can even sync the switch with the end of the frame from
the current port). With this trick, the 4 HDMI ports are usable at the
price of some headache with Spartan-6 clock routing and ISE bugs.

Audio has also been removed from the Mixxeo. The IO connectors, on the
other hand, have been improved (more pins + differential pairs).
