Status in ?rhythmbox? source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
When playing back music in rhythmbox it will stop playing back music and start seeking through tracks with no audio then crash somewhere during the first cd I play. It seems that rhythmbox is killing pulseaudio; I can restart pulse from the command line but not from the gui manager.

when I rerun pulse audio it will start but I get these complaints:
"#:~$ pulseaudio

When it says "N: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 5.99 ms" the audio will skip and increase the ms.

I am using an m-audio 24/96 card with pulseaudio-0.9.13-0ubuntu1~ppa2 on Intrepid Ibex.
everything is updated as of Oct 15th.
I will also note that Rhythmbox didn't do this before the update.
