Pause really is just that it doesn't close the audio device. Perhaps an option there would be useful or a timeout on the pause that when reached closes the device.
There are several good reasons why the device shouldn't be closed on a pause, amongst them audible clicking for some devices when the device is stopped and restarted

We have a "Stop after long pause" option for Video, to avoid burn-in when its accidentally left that way too long, maybe that option should just be available for Audio as well.

dfortney:
Hendrik, that really sounds like the right approach.  The only difference I guess is there is a logical difference to pause vs stop as well meaning pause will continue playing what was in playing now where stop will start something completely new depending on the play options etc.  I think keeping the logical behavior of pause intact (ie pressing play will then just open core audio back up and continue where it left off) but having it release core audio after some optioned timeout makes the most sense.  I do also think presenting the option to the user in a way that explains the purpose (allow the system to sleep) is a good idea as well otherwise I wouldn't really understand what's the purpose.  If I was being told 'allow computer to sleep after long pause' I might be ok accepting a slight pop sound when enabled.  I do think it makes sense to just have one option perhaps for both video and audio like this.

dfortney:
... oh and another thing I noticed during this discovery is Media Center doesn't support AppleScript which would be a really nice feature if possible for at least a few basic functions like play/pause/stop/mute/unmute/trackNext/trackPrev/shuffle/isPlaying/isPaused/isStopped, etc.  This would let people do pretty clever app integration features like automatically muting music while accepting skype calls or watching safari web videos etc.

jlyness:
The crashes happen no matter what the most recent file played is or which external drive it is on. The external drives (mostly single disks, there is one software RAID) are formatted as HFS+ (journaled). I will email you the most recent file being played during the most recent crash. The most recent log is attached here.

/Volumes/Seagate 3TB-1/iTunes media files Seagate/Music/Eric Parkin/Chaminade_ Piano Works (Chandos)/19 6 Feuillets d'Album Op. 98_ 4. Valse Arabesque (Allegro vivo capriccioso ben cantando).m4a
To bob (at) jriver (dot) com
That was the last thing it accessed before crashing.

Also, what format is the (external?) disk
Volumes/Seagate 3TB-1

JimH:
Please try testing with only local files.  External drives can sometimes have problems.  Power is one issue.
