just for the logs, I accidently changed my passthru device to "directsound" and tried to play the 5.1 FLAC and to my surprise it worked. Was still using d3d5582. Will give the most recent changes a try now.

WASAPI - HDMI does after all output GUI sounds with stream silence disabled, however it seems to queue up a load of sounds then plays out in a burst, so I never heard them on my 1st round of tests because I wasn't carrying out enough GUI actions before starting playback. Take a long list and start scrolling, I probably get about 15 items down then sound will suddenly kick in with a quick burst of about 2 sec of multiple clicks that seem to have been buffered, then it will go silent again until you gone down another 15 or so items and then you get another burst of clicks, and so on.
Directsound - HDMI outputs GUI sounds with no problems with or without stream silence.

Can you test the 5.1 flacs on linux again, with that patch added: https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/commit/7...1ef2d4928f
