Bug Description
Occasionally some aspect of my sound system locks up: Multimedia applications freeze on start (rhythmbox, totem, mplayer, Flash), seemingly trying to initialize the soundsystem.
Example of running mplayer with -msglevel all=9

Very similar issue and HW. All applications freeze up when using ALSA. However, far from intermittently, it now happens every time.
Will attach my specs as well.
