audio start delay

can we have an option to introduce a delay in seconds for playback of audio when the audio format changes, either bitrate or sample rate?

what currently happens is that when changing for example from 16/44 to 96/24 from one song to the other i miss the first 1-2 seconds of the track. i think it is because my oppo player is negotiating the change. it only affects when audio format changes. i am thinking the feature needs to tell the other end of the hdmi handshake the new audio format, wait a second or two, then start playback
