Playback stops when audio changes from stereo to 5.1

I can confirm this issue, also with Game of Thrones. Disabling passthrough "(AC3/DTS capable receiver)" 'fixes' the issue, as in playback doesn't stop, but then video stutters because of performance issues.

I've updated to the latest raspberry firmware and tested with the latest xbmc nightly and this issue is still there.

By the way: playing the same file in XBMC (12.1) for Windows works fine. I have no idea about the internals of XBMC but this probably suggests the issue to be with omxplayer?
