Correction. Rhythmbox froze during AND after the session was inactive, making it permanently frozen (dead, defunct, useless). This is definitely wrong. So its an issue with how gst (and by extension rhythmbox) handle things, inappropriately in that case. But it was a problem.

This sounds as if some other process blocked the audio device when
switching back the session so that PA was unable to reopen the device
and thus playback stays suspended.

Could you please check this, by running "pactl" in a terminal when
this happens again, and then type "list-sinks"? If your sound card
sink remains in SUSPENDED state, than this is most likely the issue.

Or, you might have hit the well-known issue HAL where it fails to
restore ACLs sometimes and thus PA is not able to reopen the device
properly. Check getfacl /dev/snd/*

fyi I've opened [1] on the rhythmbox freezes issue. I've got a few backtraces up though I'm unsure how useful they are in this situation with streaming media.

In about 5 tries I got rhythmbox to freeze after vt switch, the latest comment has the backtrace of that specifically. pactl does not show SUSPENDED as a flag on any sink (I have two sound cards, though only one is being used at that time), and the acls seem to have access for my user (that is attached to the bug).
