Comment (by liels):

 The same or related problem exists in playback from other sources.  I was
 watching the France vs Portugal World Cup match and gave up due to
 frequent audio dropouts.  I tried watching the same file from the same
 frontend using VLC and the audio worked fine.  If you like I can try to
 reproduce on different hardware.  Regardless, it seems the audio buffer is
 resetting when it does not need to for many types of recordings (at least
 for ac3 passthrough).  If it's helpful I can test on different hardware
 with different streams and see what happens.  Anecdotally, this seems to
 be a problem on video recordings that might be captured not perfectly
 (Music Choice or not).  Videos that come from pristine sources playback
 without audio (or other) problems (usually dts passthrough in my case.
