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).

BTW, I have a hard time believing this is an issue that either PA or gstreamer
is responsible for since banshee is playing files fine (and properly pausing)
during VT switches. I've been playing with banshee for awhile and cannot hang
it in the same way rhythmbox does. (I only have one of them open at a time too)
Seems like a bug to track down in rhythmbox itself.
