This is somewhat expected behaviour. Access to the audio device follows the active session on the display. I.e. if you switch VTs than ConsoleKit+HAL will change the ACLs of the audio devices and tell PA to stop accessing the audio device. This will cause playback to pause for all applications accessing PA. However, as soon as you switch back the session, the playback should continue. This is not perfect however, since we don't inform Gst/Rhyhtmbox that the audio device is temporarily stopped (there's no way to do that afaik).
