Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

At random times compiz.real crashes. This forces a total restart of X. When it does the sound system stops working and the only way to restart it is to reboot.

Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" amd64

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

I honestly don't know. I think it was related to a different bug in ALSA and I found out that forcing a restart of ALSA would fix it. It turned out it was PulseAudio related and programs that directly communicated to ALSA would cause the PA system to stop working right.

The honest truth is, other than inside of VirtualBox I've stopped using Linux on my home computer for the time being.
