Bug? osmc + hifiberry dac = issues

hi guys,
it seems there’s a bug in osmc regarding hifiberry dac resulting in not letting me select the dac as an audio source repeatedly. sometimes it works, sometimes after reboot it does not. last week an apt-get dist-upgrade solved the problem, this week, as I cannot upgrade any more, I am still stuck.

Thanks for reading & helping
Markus
