I think I'll revise that and say the other way round is *better* but I
have now had a couple failures this way round too with the same
symptoms... mplayer freezes but other connections can happily continue
and play sound.

I'm attaching my example config and a load.sh and unload.sh scripts to
load the alsa sink and unload it again. Using this setup it's hopefully
quite easy to replicate this freeze which may actually highlight an
underlying problem elsewhere.....?
