I would suggest to check if the Raspberry Pi "firmware" (xbian-package-firmware) is up to date.

Can you check if this only happens with certain audio codecs?

Edit: have you already tried a shorter HDMI cable or setting config_hdmi_boost=4 (default is 2)? The maximum value is 7, but it can also fry your TV/receiver.

And I would never report a thing without trying the basics first
So yes, there is no problem with my HW or installation, nothing to do with cables etc, I know the drill

regardless the files, I use FLAC mainly, but I have try the MP3 just to test it. And it seems to be a file related. I havent tried different file since now (my bad) but it should play just fine. I mean FLAC. If the device can easily stream 1080p/DTS than FLAC should be a "piece of cake".
To be honest not sure where to start with trouble shoot.
I would need more time to play more files, to be sure the MP3s are fine, just to make sure. Maybe I find some spare time tonight

edit: I did force update of the system from within config and it seems to be better. had some glitch at the start but now seems to have no cutouts. again, need to test more, so will report back later
