We just had to release Dharma and move on. It had been way too long already. It means that not every bug could be fixed.
I compared boxee's code with ours and the way the sound device is opened is identical, so a fix will not be trivial, especially since no dev can repro. So if it's important to you, help find which the revision or a date range when the breakage happened. To do that, download the code and build older versions of xbmc unless you can find pre-built versions that are old enough.
Other than that, I hope the issue will be fixed with the AE branch merge, which will replace all audio code and do things more correctly.
