I think I found a bug in the recent AE build:

When I pause video playback and switch to a different receiver input (e.g. BD-Player) and then switch back to the XBMC-HDMI input, XBMC crashes.

After quitting and re-starting XBMC afterwards, XBMC can't find the HDMI-output for audio anymore. In the settings it says then 'Error: No device found'.

Starting a new playback results in problems then:

Hope the log files help.

Chris, sorry missed responding to this. Unfortunately it's the classic handshaking issue. Your receiver should re-init a handshake when switching back to your HTPC - if it was then restarting XBMC would find the device.

The best we can do here (assuming there's no receiver firmware updates that fix this) is fail gracefully back to another device, but that may be of no use to many users e.g. switching to internal speakers, etc.

But once that handshake is lost and not re-initialized by the receiver there's nothing we can do to force it to happen.
