HDMI Audio failed to initialize error forces reboot to play any video and get audio output (AVR turned off)

Using HDMI audio - When attempting to play a video file with audio that is not supported by the display device, say DTS HD on my tv, the "failed to initialize audio" error is displayed as expected. After that error appears any attempt to play another video file, no matter the audio type it contains will give the same error until the box is rebooted. This happens when I forget to turn on my AVR and start a movie with HD audio. After that even with the receiver on I can't play any video file and get sound, I just keep getting the error until I reboot. I used to be able to choose a different audio track or restart the AVR and the audio would play again, now it errors until a Boxee reboot. So, once the error occurs I have to reboot to get sound from any video file.
