 When pausing a GStreamer applications (gst-player, rhythmbox, etc), it
 pauses ESD.
 This causes a serious problem for people who use Rhythmbox, as they cannot
 pause (rhythmbox does not have a stop button) to watch movies or use any
 other audio related software.

+That is more of an application bug than a GStreamer bug. Pausing a 
+pipeline is for short periods only and should not release any 
+locks/devices or whatever. Even in READY those should still be held. 
+READY is just "going back to directly before playing". Even HTTP 
+connections to streamed medias are supposed to stay open.
+
+The correct behaviour for all applications would be to automatically 
+reset the pipeline to NULL after a defined period of being in paused 
+and seeking to the old position once the user unpauses (or at least 
+do it for output plugins).
+This is not yet implemented anywhere though.
+
+PS: This is a problem with OSS/ALSA, too.
