Audio "disappears" after resuming VLC

Hi,
I'm on  a fully updated Arch-X86_64/XFCE laptop connected via HDMI to a large screen TV.
I watch Full HD movies this way, preferably using VLC.
I have tried several ALSA/PULSE combinations  with VLC's (advanced) Audio configuration output/device.
In all these audio "combinations",  if I pause VLC, many times (but not always!), I have NO sound after resume.

Searching the Internet, the solution seems to be installing vlc-plugin-pulse.
However, I can't find it neither in the repositories nor in AUR.

Please advise!

Thanks

Re: Audio "disappears" after resuming VLC

Does the same happen with using alsa directly? (hw:0 for example, PA would need to be killed for that probably)
