I am now using VLC media player 3.0.21 Vetinari (revision 3.0.21-0-gdd8bfdbabe8) to play ape audio files. in the playing process, if i do a pause action, vlc will be responding to my pause request after 5 seconds or so, which is not so instant. and when i do play action , what puzzles me is there is no sound any more in the playing process.

SO, is there any patch to fix the issue?

Can't say about your particular case but time to pause is a factor of the audio output, not VLC (at least normally). VLC just asks the output to pause, and the output should pause immediately though some fail to do so, notably Bluetooth speakers.

Have a look at this thread, the problem does not occur only on Linux:
