it must be related to the mixer stop and start.

all thoughts would be welcomed.
You need to be sure that the sink has been emptied before you try to play other sounds. PulseAudio is very sensitive to this so you need to make sure that everything is either played or flushed.

Google for "pulseaudio simple example" and you'll get everything you need. I used this to create the audio backend for footify.
