This is indeed bogus behaviour of pasuspender observable by me in Ubuntu Lucid.
Any sound output to  "default" is dead afterwards, incl. speaker-test (whereas
speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:0 still works, the device is not locked).
In the older Ubuntu Intrepid, pasuspender works as its manpage says and you
need not restart PA.

Please file a bug report against PA or your Linux distribution if that bug
persists with the most recent PA/alsa_plugins.

In summary, scenarios involving pasuspender (as opposed to not using PA at all)
are likely consequences of that bug and should be marked invalid here. Because
it's not cluttered by pasuspender issues, let's make wine bug #29299 the one
about the regression caused by commit 1cde966c35dcb0b5dc7bc5a6c42b788f6d8f561c
winmm: Never write silence, mmdevapi must handle underruns.
As a consequence:
- ALSA may not start short samples < period size
  This seems to only affect period-oriented devices like ALSA+dmix or hw:0,
  whereas ALSA+PA starts with the first sample written.
- and it does not play trailing samples.
