No, there's really no way to do that. The specs simply don't allow it. It's surprisingly lame, but I'm guessing it would have been hard to do it. Essentially, to have the audio continue where it was, you would have either to de-synchronize the audio and the video (which would run contrary to the way MPEG is multiplexed), or allow starting a PGC at an arbitrary point (which would then depend on where you left the previous PGC). They probably thought that was too complicated for what it bought.
But having the audio break like that when you change menus is very very cheesy...
