My normal use includes running Google Chrome, Eclipse PDT, terminal, CXOffice, Spotify/Last.fm, Pidgin, Gedit. I cannot pinpoint a particular action I'm taking that causes it, I just notice that my laptop fan is going crazy, I check the process list and gnome-settings-daemon is up there using 100%.

You mentioned it could be pulseaudio - I do listen to last.fm/Spotify (both Linux clients), so perhaps that could be the trigger?
