Geert, I was having this specific problem when trying to use mplayer. What I did was change the "Autosuspend if idle for" setting. It can be found in Control Center -> Sounds & Multimedia -> Sound System -> aRTs tab (feels vaguely like describing a windows problem :). I set mine at 5 seconds. Your's will of coarse depend.
