This confirmed for 32 bit 12.04 alpha 1. It happens 100% of the time.
To recreate the error:
Open System monitor
Click to select a process (any process)
Use up or down arrow keys to move the selection bar to pulse-audio
As soon as the selection bar hits pulse-audio the error message pops up.
*New Info*** ******* ******* ***
I can also re-create this problem by selecting pulse-audio with the mouse
Observations:
*Pulse-audio has a very high priority set. All other processes are "normal"
*This is mostly being reported by 32 bit users, however some 64 bit users are reporting it happening sometimes
---> Could this be because they are just not hitting "pulse-audio" during testing?
