Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio
lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release:        8.04

$ apt-cache policy pulseaudio
pulseaudio:
  Installed: 0.9.9-1ubuntu4
  Candidate: 0.9.9-1ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.9-1ubuntu4 0

On switching for example to tty1 from X on tty7, sound drops out when
using pulseaudio ( for example in mplayer ). Using alsa as default does
not produce this issue.

Changing the audio output to alsa produces the expected behaviour:
namely, that sound is not muted or interrupted on vt change.

This bug occurs when switching in and out of X with ctrl+alt+F7, ctrl+alt+F[1-6]
If sound is played from the prompt in a Vt and a switch is made to another Vt 
it appears not to happen. 

For instance, starting playback  mplayer (using pulse) sound is muted on
change to tty1, and returns on switching back to X on tty7. The same
issue occurs with Totem and the Firefox Totem plugin.
