Hi!

  While listening to mpd sound suddenly stopped in the middle of a
song. No action at all on the active X session at that time. Turns out
pulseaudio switched to the second soundcard for no apparent reason
whatsoever (didn't find any logoutput as well).

Indeed, they look similar. Could you (Christoph, Gabriel) please
attach a verbose log of pulseaudio[1] for when the problem happens?

with both Iceweasel and VLC. I eventually saw with pavucontrol
in its Playback tab that switching

  GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)

to

  Built-in Audio Analog Stereo

solved the problem for each concerned application.
