I'm no longer so certain there's a bug in the PulseAudio server. Some ALSA clients (such as SDL) cause pulseaudio to use all available CPU time until it writes "Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating." to its stdout and exits. I'm not sure exactly where that message comes from or what causes pulseaudio to exit. It may be the kernel forcibly killing the process, so this may be more a configuration issue than a bug in pulseaudio.
