I see the same behaviour in current jaunty. Video seems to be jerky for a fraction of a second directly after resuming / seeking, then it settles into steady playback. This has the side-affect of making repetitive seeking irritatingly slow. Playback seems generally unsteady. Killing pulseaudio and using alsa stops this misbehaviour.
The best way to recreate it seems to be to pause a video, adjust the volume using the volume keys / mixer, and toggle play/pause until it hangs. >From the following debugging, it looks like the issue is in communication with the pulseaudio unix socket: Breakpoint 1, 0x00007fb692647e90 in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007fb692647e90 in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00007fb687f8ce3d in ??
