Comment 5 for bug 605827

This is still happening. I have recently noticed something new though: Sound cuts out in WIne apps when pidgin makes a sound. It does not happen every time. It seems to happen if Pidgin has not made a sound for a while. It's noteworthy because Pidgin does not hold the PA device open but opens it on demand and closes after the sound finishes playing. I also still see cut outs when changing volume (but again not always) and during CPU/IO load spikes (loading up programs, starting a large compile etc).
