Output of "pactl list sinks"

If this module is loaded, HDMI output (stereo and 5.1) is not working when I start a player like VLC or Rhythmbox. I have to fiddle with the output configuration of Pulseaudio (e.g., changing from 5.1 to stereo and back) or with the input configuration of my receiver (e.g., re-selecting the input source my computer is connected to) to hear sound.

If I pause and continue the playback, sound is still fine. If I quit the player so that no stream is playing at all and start it again, I have to perform the above procedure again.

Unloading the module suspend-on-idle solves this problem whereas loading the module produces the problem reproducibly.

Hardware: Intel Sandy Bridge cpu & mainboard with onboard video card with HDMI output (see attached file sink-list.txt). My receiver is a Denon AVR-1910.

Software: Pulseaudio 1.0 from Ubuntu 11.10 x64 (package version 1:1.0-0ubuntu3)
