Do you have links to the bugs?

I have libcanberra compiled with PA support, so I can use it with
other sound sources at the same time.

And the players output to PulseAudio directly or through the ALSA
emulation? In GNOME 2 you could configure GStreamer (which both
Rhythmbox and Banshee use) to use PulseAudio as default sink, or using
ALSA; but it PA is running, newer versions will automagically detect
it and use it [1]. I use GNOME 3 and PA is mandatory, so I don't
remember exactly how it was.
Sorry for my curiosity, but it sounds really weird: I have heard a lot
about PA problems, but nothing like this.
