Good news for Win 8.1 users:
Someone recently posted the "exclusive mode" fix for the Dolby Digital+ Netflix bug. This workaround apparently causes problems with XBMC bitstreaming. An Intel employee just posted this on the Intel forum:
"Hi all,
I have an update from the engineering team. A new audio driver that fixes this problem is currently in the final validation phase. I've tested it and it WORKS! So, stay tuned - the problem with Dolby Digital 5.1 on Netflix is soon going to be a thing of the past!

Would have been nice to have this fixed a year ago, but this is really the biggest bug plaguing the Windows NUC (since SuperHD Netflix is pretty much the only reason to use Windows over openelec).
