I have a htpc to play music hooked to a tx-sr608 amp via hdmi and this amp hooked via hdmi too to a projector.
HTPC <-> TX-SR608 <-> TV
The sound play nicely when projector is on, when I switch it off or if I don't power it all all, after a random time, usually between 7 and 10 minutes, pulseaudio complains about having ELD info empty (see below) and switches sink, and no audio is heard anymore.

I tried to switch dpms off after reading that bug report
I tried to disable module-suspend-on-idle and / or module-switch-on-port-available
I'm at a loss finding why it drops the sink while nothing happens. If I power off/ on the amp the sink goes back up.
Before the sink drops,
