Digital audio sound gap

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has been able to fix this small issue. When playing
digital audio (over hdmi in my case) it takes the receiver one or two
seconds to start playing the audio stream. In case of music, this is
because it needs to switch to pcm first.

I can workaround this by setting the hdmi port on the receiver to pcm by
hand. But, I want to be able to play ac3/dts sound on video files as well.
On the Internet I found someone who worked around this issue by always
playing a pcm stream from /dev/zero, but that also makes playing non-audio
steams like ac3 impossible as you can't send two different streams to one
hdmi receiver...

What we would "need" is an always-on pcm signal that goes away when playing
something else I guess. I just have no idea how to do that. Maybe someone
over here has a solution the he or she wants to share? :-)
