Audio over HDMI does not work as yet. i.e. the device is not recognized at
all.
The wireless works when you build a module from github.
The bluetooth is not recognized. It's part of the wireless networking chip.

VAAPI works well. I have an external USB soundcard plugged in and a USB
ethernet and it's
a perfectly usable frontend. Pretty much all my content is h264 here in NZ.

I would however wait till audio is supported over HDMI before getting
another one.

Cheers,
Paul
