Luke, I had the the latest 0.9.10-2ubuntu6 along with other updates on the system and that is when I found this issue. So after downgrading alsa-utils and alsa-plugins, which didn't work I downgraded pulseadudio and found that my setup worked again.
The thing I have not tried is to see which build of pulseaudio broke things since i went strait to 0.9.10-2ubuntu2 from 0.9.10-2ubuntu6. If i had to guess, I think it is the 0.9.10-2ubuntu4 build that changed something.
