I am just curious, with all the new development, is this in a usable
state (not developer-usable ;) ) yet?  Some of the available boards
that are ideal for HTPC applications (such as MythTV) have this
chipset and it would be very nice to be able to take advantage of it.

If it is indeed usable, can anyone point me to which driver/docs I
should be testing/perusing?

Thanks!
