I can say my install of 9.04 Xubuntu does not suffer from this. That is gnome-mplayer plugin in firefox, switching to VT1 with CTRL-ALT-F1. I can also play sound from more than one source at a time although top or ps does not show a running pulse audio.

I have also heard mpd having probs with suspend/resume or hibernate, if anyone can confirm? My vote goes with moc/mocp in a virtual terminal or an emulated term.
