I just figured out another potential workaround - make sure that when
the frontend crashes X stays online :-) I'll test that and see what
happens (if it's X or frontend that's killing sound).

Tried that (with some new Sony TV) could not get any audio whatsoever
:-( Ultimately I have to get it going with my TV anyway. But I found
out that nvidia will disable audio if it thinks that the other side
can't support it (or that particular format), so perhaps it's TV that
breaks the handshake.

Thanks, I'll undoubtedly need it ;-)
