Comment (by mkretz):
Breakpoint on ao_pulse_exit()? That wouldn't help much as that function
doesn't get called in this case at all. The function gets called if the
plugin is closed and destroyed by the application (or the Phonon backend
in this case), which is not the case here.
As I understand the problem, it's that xine's pulse output doesn't know
that the pulseaudio server is gone and all its pulse structures may not be
touched anymore. A forgiving pulse API would just silently let all calls
fail if the server is gone.
