[SOLVED] Kodi 14.1 video and audio output issues

[min]

I've upgraded from the xbmc 13.2 alsa package to kodi 14.1 and one really cool feature has disappeared.

In 13.2 I selected alsa as my audio device (hifiberry dac) and music files played through the dac, while video files played through hdmi. I assumed that this was possible due to different players being used for music and video (dvdplayer and omxplayer).

In kodi 14.1 this no longer works and all audio plays through the selected device, whether it's from mkv, flac, whatever.

Is there a way to get this functionality back?
