I can confirm this is a bug in alsa/pulseaudio.  I managed to get the 
same behavior out of vlc, by calling it with:

  vlc -A alsa --alsa-audio-device plughw:0,0 
/media/gga/Datos/movies/trailers/Frozen-Let_it_go.mp4

and then switching back and forth between Pulse Audio Sound Server and 
HDA Intel PCH.  When switching back to intel (plughw:0,0), the resource 
is busy and the audio fails.
