I also have issues when swithing from one song to another that I have to press play one more time. Also the screen is quite smaller when I finish watching a movie using hdmi. When I look at my xbmc.log and find these errors:

This config seems to work much better! At least it doesn't give me hdmi problems.
Code:pcm.!default {

The script is just a copy paste of some findings on the net and these forums but works good on my setup (asrock ion 330ht + yamaha receiver @ spdif + panasonic 50" (P50s10) @ hdmi; no hiss and crossfading works (on both tv and receiver)
Just some thinking out loud but have you tried lowering the 'rate' parameter of your dmix tv device. its probably because your tv can't handle the 48000 rate. try adjusting this to something lower: 44100
Regards.
