As I mentioned in an earlier mail, it's not generally a good idea to
switch to HDMI automatically, due to the possible lack of speakers on
the monitor, so do you really want to do this chage? I'm fine with this
patch, though, because if the decision to switch to a HDMI profile has
already been made, it's pretty logical to switch output to it in
module-switch-on-connect.
