I wouldn't put too much stock into a HDMI port on my motherboard.
Just my 2 cents, and please do read reviews.  Normally, for quality
video and sound, you'll buy a sound card and video card.   The issues
that were mentioned seem more relevant.  Namely, sata/pata ports,
firewire, usb, PCIe vs AGP.  Basically a tradeoff on price, if that's
a concern.  If not, you could get one of the new Gigabyte boards.
Maybe the X38T-DQ6 or something like that.  Beware DDR3 memory is very
expensive, and myth doesn't yet need a hugely powerful cpu, but it
could help transcodes.
