TV audio output device not remembered

Description
I've recently upgraded to Kubuntu 14.10 (KDE 4.14.2), and started getting this issue: Whenever my monitors enter energy savings mode (when pc is idle for a while - the pc itself is not suspended, only the monitors are), then the TV (connected as third display to PC) is no longer remembered as an audio output device.
So every time I want to use the TV I must go to K Menu -> System Settings -> Multimedia -> Audio and Video Settings -> Audio Hardware Setup -> Profile and re-select the proper profile. Sound Card is "Built-in Audio", and there are 3 different profiles in the dopdown list all identically named "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output", however selecting each of them gives a different Connector name below: "HDMI / DisplayPort", "HDMI / DisplayPort 2 " and "HDMI / DisplayPort 3".
In my case the second one is the correct one, but when a screen energy savings mode is activated it reverts back to the third, which is incorrect.
This issue did not occur before the upgrade, and there were no other hardware changes.
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340979 for the previous history and discussion of this issue.
