I've never tried on OpenBSD. But from someone that had experience
from both type of graphic cards, the ones that have their own internal
mixer and the ones that only have a S/PDIF input, both of them can be
tricky to get sound over HDMI. Without knowing the specific card model,
it's hard to even begin to answer your question. I believe that a card
with S/PDIF should work. There is no configuration/driver relation, it's
just a hardware connection from your motherboard/soundcard S/PDIF
output, to the graphic card S/PDIF input. But with a card with the
internal mixer, things gets complicated.
A little off topic, but on a related issue, I've always wanted to
migrated my HTPC solution to OpenBSD. But there are lots of hiccups, and
honestly, I don't even know if I have the knowledge to code what needs
to be coded.
