Bug Description

Sometime the sounds vanish when I try to start music with Amarok. I get a notification which informs that the radion sound has been switched to internal audio (the proper message is not shown anymore). I can fix this with following:

1. log off in X
2. Switch to virtual console and login
2b) rm -rf .pulse*
2c) log off virtual console
3. login in X

After this the sounds are restored. I did notice these in my ~/.xsession-errors:
arrowValue 1
arrowValue 1
ESC[31mvoid DBusMenuImporterPrivate::slotItemsPropertiesUpdated(const DBusMenuItemList&, const DBusMenuItemKeysList&)ESC[0m: No action for id 11

arrowValue 0

Dmesg has following at the end of it:
[ 874.368173] radeon 0000:01:00.0: texture bo too small (1680 1050 26 0 -> 7299072 have 7258112)
