Basically hdmion command enables the HDMI "bit" of the video controller
to output a complete HDMI "video+sound" signal.  HDMIoff disables this
"bit" and outputs a basic DVI-style picture-only feed. 

I must admit this confused me for a while. I'd have preferred the commands
to be more explicit and say something like

*HDMIAudioOn and *HDMIAudioOff.

For similar reasons I think it is unfortunately obscure to have to *Audio
command use control ID strings that don't give the user a visual clue to
which value is HDMI and which is mainboard. Although I agree people
shouldn't need to be bothered by any of this in normal use.
