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.
