Forgive my ignorance, but I don't entirely understand what you mean with pulse. In Kodi it describes the audio output device as "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server." The only other option there is "PulseAudio Sound Server."
I have determined that the trigger for the issue was whenever the TV turned off, either manually or from the idle timer. For some reason, disabling the passive HDMI pass through on my receiver seems to have resolved the issue, although this is not ideal. Does that tell you anything useful?
Thanks.

Nevermind, just happened again, despite it seems any settings I try changing. Really at a loss...

If your external components produce this issue, e.g. stop transmitting the EDID correctly, fake the EDID.
This has absolutely nothing to do with kodi - but is produced by _your_ hardware. Alternatively tape Pin 19 ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I'll do some research to see what that means, but isn't it a Kodi issue when the option itself to toggle the passthrough on or off in Kodi's settings disappears until restarted?

No ... we only present settings if capable hardware is existent. If it's missing, e.g. TV off - why should we know - there is some capable hardware perhaps even in another room?

Ok, so there's no way to tell Kodi to check if connected hardware is on again (other than exiting and restarting Kodi)?

As he already said... You could fake the EDID.

Yes, I am aware and am looking into that (I'm not sure if it's possible to do on a machine running QTS, though) Is that a "no" to my question, then?

kodi reenumerates whenever ALSA tells us to do so ... we are userspace and not kernel space.
