Thanks a lot. I have tried out the patch including possible fixes for the
monitor disconnect issues mentioned in the freedesktop bug, but it does
not fix the problem of the disappearing external monitor.

Well, that means no audio-out for now, unfortunately. I will have to live
without that.

Thanks

Norbert
