Problem: How to keep HDMI audio stream alive?
#3
This problem occurs in any receiver mode (though only the pure/direct are of interest to me). Others have reported this problem/wish elsewhere (I cant remember where). I can find no setting for HDMI "no signal" behaviour - and I am not sure the receiver could meaningfully second-guess what is going to come next when the signal drops.

I think the solution would be below the MPD level. Like a plugin (term used loosely) in the ALSA framework that is always connected to the hdmi. For example something like plughw, but that keeps the output device fed/open even if nothing is coming in (generic solution), or add this feature to CamillaDSP output (less generic)? (NB I dont yet understand the ALSA architecture - Its on my big todo list!)
