Solved it by running XBMC like this:
Code:pasuspender -- xbmc
And then set both regular audio and passthrough audio to be played over HDMI in XBMC. I did not want to uninstall PulseAudio, so this was the best solution. Another solution is to disable autospawn in PulseAudio, and then kill it with "pulseaudio -k" when starting XBMC and running "pulseaudio --start" when XBMC exits (can be done easily in a shell script), but using pasuspender is way better.
The only problem with this workaround is that it breaks audio in other programs while XBMC is open. Too inconvenient for me, as I tend to keep it running in the background a lot.
Thanks, though. Hopefully AudioEngine and the next version of XBMC will take care of this properly. Until then I'll keep doing a few seeks at the start of each playback in XBMC...
