Fixed, I switched to OSS4, and I dont have any word, it is so awesome, sorry guys, but it is much superior than Pulseaudio and Alsa, I just can play sounds and it does not have any trouble and even Skype, works out of the box (static OSS version).

OSS4 was the solution to my problems. Pulse is always breaking up, locking up. With Pulse, ALSA or just OSS I've never been able to get Voice (VoIP) inside Second Life.
I've been running OSS4 for a couple of weeks now with any glitches.. superb... 100%. Faster and lighter than pulse, it made possible to use Voice in Second Life (usually won't work without hardware mixing in the audio chip/board) and I can run VLC, Firefox, Amarok, Second Life (and streaming and Voice inside SL) all at the same time with impecable quality.

To everybody with this problem I suggest you strongly, change to OSS4 (now it is GPLed).

I suggest you to use the mercurial way (download source code and compile it), after this, no more problems with Skype not working, Quake crashing, Wine crashing, everything crashed pulseaudio with the error reported above.
