Comment (by lennart):

 If any of the pa_context_xxx() or pa_stream_xxx() functions are called
 from a different thread than the main loop thread while it is running than
 this has to be protected with _lock() and _unlock().

 Hence, yes, you do have a race condition here. A bug in MPlayer, not in
 PA.
