I am quite happy it syncs at all and keeps it "somehow" ... there is nothing left I can do in that regard - As you know AMLCodec itself needs a rewrite, sync is pure luck as of now in master.
Best is: Use samples that you can sw decode with hd audio ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Let me try to turn off amcodec and then play.
EDIT: Hurray! Plays perfect and no more interrupts in sound and signal to AVR is stable!

Forget that for hd content ...
Edit: Btw. with Framerate Automation turned off - all is fine for you, too?

Well, I am confused now, as I played 1080p HD .iso file without issue with turned off amcodec ?
With or without framerate automation when enable amcodec + this Kodi it cause this issues. Let me make short video.

For the records, on S905 I have no problems with DTS, not with any other format, just with EAC3 that is a known issue right now.
I'm installing the kodi-20160208-76875b1-androidtestv3-armeabi-v7a.apk on my Core now to try it here as well.

I will do it tomorrow morning now there's my people watching TV, basically it turns on the DD+ sign on the AVR and the audio plays stuttering and farting/popping
I ended the tests on Core:
* AC3 ok
* DTS ok
* EAC3 nok (not even light on)
* TrueHD nok (stutters like on rc3 with koying patch but there doing "echo 0 > /sys/class/tv/policy_fr_auto" fixes it, here it has no effect, btw the link with the avr is stable)
* DTS-HD nok (stutters and when it happens the link with the avr is lost and re-negotiated)
As droidelec said, using MediaCodec TrueHD and DTS-HD work fine, but I get crappy playback from time to time using that, like if for some frames it plays in slow motion. That is weird because the codec used (it calls the amlogic omx codecs), are used by other apps, like youtube, netflix, etc. and there I never saw something like that
