Whew, I just ran into this bug - suddenly I got a message that my file system was almost full, my CPU was pegged by pulseaudio and rsyslogd, and a few minutes later my file system was full with many gigs of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/user.log. About 31 million lines in each file for pulseaudio:
Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files
Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files
Nov 29 17:19:30 citadel-station pulseaudio[2365]: socket-server.c: accept(): Too many open files
Cause?:
I've been using karmic on this system without a problem with pulseaudio since the first beta. Last night I changed my speaker configuration in my volume control from "Analog Stereo Duplex" to "Analog Surround 5.1 Output". I have to think that's related based on the timing. I shut this computer off every night, so this isn't something that just built up over time.
I'd be happy to provide any additional information that anyone would like regarding this.

(after i gzipped them and rotated)
overridex@ citadel- station: /var/log$ zcat syslog.1.gz | grep pulseaudio | wc -l citadel- station: /var/log$ zcat user.log.1.gz | grep pulseaudio | wc -l

The lines appear to all (or at least mostly) be:
