I don't think this is PulseAudio. It's probably something in the kernel
or the Android HAL.

Anyway, after PulseAudio has been playing a sound, there is a five second timeout until PulseAudio closes the hw stream. Or put it another way, PulseAudio plays back five seconds of silence after every sound (assuming there's nothing else that wants to play).
So it makes some sense that doing things within five seconds after a sound has stopped may cause a different chain of events.

Title:
  [MX4] Crackling sound after playing audio and suspended

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Meizu MX4 is doing a weird "tic tic tic..." after receive a
  notification (from telegram, mail...) and it's suspended.

  ------

  When I press the screen lock button on the MX4 shortly after playing
  music or ending a phone call I hear a radio/fuzzy distorted noise
  coming from the phone. To make it stop I need to unlock and lock the
  screen again but this is not ideal.

  -----

  When the screen is locked and the playing song is finished and waiting
  for a stopped signal, MX4 will do a weird lower sound.

  -----

  TEST CASE (Thanks to Kamikaze)
  1. Boot the device and wait until it suspends (black screen)
  2. ssh to the device
  3. Run from the command line:
    $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
  4. Repeat step 3 until you reproduce the issue (3 to 5 times)

  --- Original Case ---
  How to reproduce (Note this does not always work, the phone needs to be in some specific state yet to be determined)

  Ensure MX4 is not plugged into USB
  Call the MX4 and hear the ringtone
  Dismiss the call
  Push the power button to turn off the screen
  Tick Tick Tick
  Push the power button to turn on the screen
  hissing
  Push the power button to turn off the screen
  Tick Tick Tick
  etc

  It will not clear until you play another sound
  Does not happen in silent mode of course
