  Will a HDMI switch switch all pins including those that carry digital audio?

  Maybe I'm confused but my hope for HDMI, at least for a home theater setup, is to minimize the number of cables.

  I believe HDMI will (eventually) do this as it is supposed to carry multiple digital audio channels as well as the video signal - right? And I think this is where most manufacturers are not quite on board and on the same page, yet.

    I have no interest in the audio portion of HDMI, at least at present. For example, it will not yet carry MCH SACD. Consequently, I prefer to keep the audio and video separate and use a programmable remote to switch them in synchrony most of the time or not (so I can watch a football game while listening to music).
