In Kubuntu 14.04, when I switch to one of the virtual consoles by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1...F6 all audio and video playback running in the GUI gets interrupted and continues only when going back to X. I have no idea what causes this and if this is the intended behavior or a bug. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
