When I start a movie after XBMC has been idle for a while (don't know how long period of idle it takes or if it's completely random), I get an error message saying "Unable to initialize audio device. Please check the audio settings" and then the movie playback freezes after a couple of seconds.
If I then press stop and toggle between the available Audio Output Devices (Primary Sound Driver or Realtek HDA HDMI Out) in the Audio Hardware settings – I can again play any file without any errors. If I then watch a movie and afterwards let XBMC idle for a couple of hours, the problem will come back and I will have toggle Audio Output Device again.
It doesn't matter if Audio Output is set to Analog or Digital, the problem occurs anyway. I use HDMI to output both video and audio to my TV (Panasonic PX70).
I have this problem with XBMC 8.10 and every Jester SVN-build I have tried (currently using build 17141).
My system:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (AMD 780G chipset, using onboard Radeon HD3200)
4 GB RAM
Panasonic TH-42PX70 (connected via HDMI)
Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bit), up to date as of 2009-01-21
Realtek AMD HDMI Audio Device Driver R2.13
ATI Catalyst Driver 8.12
The debug log shows how I start XBMC, play a movie without any problems, let XBMC idle for a while and then unsuccessfully try to play the same movie file again. I highlighted the lines which I guess represents my problem:

Any suggestions how I can resolve this?
