I am experiencing the same problem where pulse audio crashes during pause. I recently changed the values in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf of: default-sample-channels = 6 default-sample-rate = 48000 and the problem seemed to coincide with this setting. The streams which are paused are two-channel streams though.
