 pa_context_disconnect() and pa_context_unref() is called.
 Its pa 0.9.10 in ubuntu 8.10

Comment (by coling):

 While I can't say with authority, I'd guess that this has been fixed in
 git master... 0.9.10 is pretty old these days and there have been quite a
 few fixes to this kind of stuff.

 If you can provide the steps you used do this, I can take a look on latest
 version, or even better if you can try with git master that would be good
 (although disable suspend on idle as there is a bug with that - although
 that should be fixed soon).
