. . . but does it work correctly?
As next I tried the "proprietary-driver" from AMD's web-site(latest version: Nov.4 2009):

"sh ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic"
compiles

If "Pulse-Audio"-sound is installed correctly and chosen as primary-HDMI-sound-device(system-settings -> Multimedia),
Kaffeine is able to display fluent DVB-S2-video(Eins Festival HD 1280x720) with at most times fully stopped HDMI-sound-stream(sound is NOT! muted via pulse-audio-mixer), but system is not locked by this anymore since CPU-load is "only" 70% in average now!!!
So using "Pulse-Audio" boosts system-performance, although there is no sound for my HD-TV yet, when watching DVB-S2.
