Bug#825078: Audio over HDMI not working

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Source: kodi
Version: 16.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

After upgrading from kodi-15 to kodi-16, audio over HDMI stopped working
on my dedicated kodi box.

I spent a *lot* of time debugging this and in the end installed a kodi
specific linux distro (http://wiki.libreelec.tv/) and everything works.
