Kodi can supervise the sink for being stuck, which means: if you open a sink with 160 ms buffer and it does not move while eating more than twice of the buffer's audio data, it is considered a bug. Sadly - there is a whole lot of broken firmwares out there, one of the leards: Ugoos. Which is the reason I make this opt-in. That means that FireTV Cube 3rd Gen and others would need to enable this - once again - via an advanced settings.
See forum report: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=376090 - I briefly informed in Slack some weeks ago and just waited to see more broken devices. Yeah, seen now the Ugoos twice ...
For now it's only the Ugoos, while I did not get other reports. The alternative to this change would be a "negative list" .... which we don't want to maintain. Sad thing is, that FireTV Cube 3rd Gen and the other boxes that need this are a bigger number.
Open for suggestions.
