I'm not sure what "external decoders" you are referring to. Do you mean the DTS / DD capable receiver options? They are enabled on both setups, also both setups have 5.1 speaker configuration set. Both the HK receiver and Samsung tv have DTS/DD decoding built in.

it will be a xbmc bug. the difference is not in the TV you are using, but in the presence of AV receiver in the second while passing the audio.
the same here, if I just pass the audio to AV, it happens. if there is TV, audio is recoded to 2ch and xbmc survives this.
I have ATV2 as well with xbmc 12.1, doing the same, if audio going to pass to AV receiver.

What's gonna happen now? I don't mean to be pushy, I'm just wondering if somebody is working on this, or if this has been reported upstream (to xbmc/raspberry?) as a bug?

I don't know how useful this is to finding the problem, but I've tried the latest standalone omxplayer (git20130423) and the audio switch works without a hitch. Command line was "omxplayer -p -w -g Game.of.Thrones.S03E04.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE.mkv" (so with hardware decoding and audio passthrough).
omxplayer even shows the audio channel change on console output: http://pastebin.com/FTpWz6m3
omxplayer.log: http://pastebin.com/jghis6n7
So it seems the problem lies with xbmc (or the version of omxplayer xbmc is using?)... Is there anything further I can do to help?

@bacobart thanks for info

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?pid=1405822#pid1405822
so I linked this over. Will see if someone find what causing the issue

According to popcornmix there's a fix for the crashing atleast ( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=163298&pid=1412498#pid1412498 ) but I've tried later XBMC versions from xbian's github and the crash still happens for me. Is the patch specified already included in xbian's XBMC? If not, will it be?

I don't see popcornmix linking to a patch in that thread so he probably merged it into the mainline. Can you try XBMC Gotham? Instructions: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbmc-nightly/blob/master/README.md
RE: Playback stops when audio changes from stereo to 5.1 - bacobart - 14th May, 2013 07:21 AM
I've tried the latest version (20130502-32b1a5e) but the crash still happens. What else can I try?

That gives me a Frodo nightly (which still has the problem). Can't figure out how to get a Gotham build...

Strange, i follow those instructions exactly, and is left with 12.2 (20130502-32b1a5e) as before...
RE: Playback stops when audio changes from stereo to 5.1 - bacobart - 15th May, 2013 04:36 PM
The instructions are specifically targeting the Frodo branch:
Quote:git clone --depth 5 -b Frodo https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbmc-nightly.git xbmc-nightly
Should this perhaps be master?

Yes
