Ah, the classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature"

But it a new and unexpected behavior.
Maybe it should be left as an option not default.

Title:
  pulseaudio breaks on switching from tty7 to tty [1-6] (in and out of
  Gnome)

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
