madbiologist, unfortunately this is not the case for as recent as 3.13-rc2 due to commit 108dc8e8b44a4c64ac53676cc05f6234340ccd4a so testing at this point is unnecessary:

    drm/radeon: rework audio option
    In 3.12 I changed audio to be enabled by default, but you still had to turn it on via xrandr.  This was confusing to users so change it to minic the previous behavior:
    - audio option is set to -1 (auto) by default which is the current 3.12 behavior (audio is enabled but requires xrandr to turn it on).
    - if audio = 1, the audio is enabled without needing to mess with xrandr (previous behavior)
    - audio = 0 disables audio 
    It retains the new feature of allowing the user to enable audio on the fly with xrandr, but turns audio on automatically if radeon.audio=1 is set which is what most users expect.
