The article does not say anything at all about HBR audio. Just one comment and
I also doubt that this is true. Where is that spec? I have tested quite a few
GPUs (Intel with i915, Nvidia, r600) and all of them had proper HDMI audio/HBR
support, which was completely unrelated to HDCP.

Even on Windows HBR audio does not have anything to do with HDCP. I am not
using HDCP there either and my RX480 properly passes all audio formats to my
AVR on Windows.

>From this bug report it looks like AMD has completely given up on HTPC people
and leaves this area entirely to Intel.
