OK, made couple of more tests and I think I have managed to find a way how to
reproduce it. When default sink is set (via gstreamer-properties) to ALSA, then
very soon after pulseaudio is killed (pulseaudio --check gives in $? 1), when
rhythmbox is started and the music is played, it freezes and has to be forcibly
killed. This emulates the situation with the original report, when I have
switched to alsasink after pulseaudio was not working due to some issues with
hald being killed by SELinux.

When pulseaudio is running, rhythmbox is able to play perfectly both on PAsink
as well as to alsasink (which is weird, I thought that PA monopolizes sound
device). When pulseaudio is then killed and alsasink is used again, rhythmbox
fails.

Probably PA leaves something behind, and this situation is too weird to be
considered seriously.
