Let them fix their stuff and then we can see which bugs remain. Working on a broken firmware with random effects will produce random effects. If "that one sample is played" when the box is in a bad-firmware-state already, it will break.  If for example startup of kodi (OpenGLES gui, etc.) brings the box in this state already (as display is reinited), you won't find the issue in kodi.

Therefore: Fix what you know as a firmware bug first and then concentrate on workarounds, else you might just fish for big macs ...
