As others are saying, it seems to me that this is some kind of interaction between the newer Flash, ALSA, and the Intel audio drivers.

I've tried running without pulseaudio for a few days. What happens is that after several hours, about the amount of time it would take pulseaudio to hang, the audio in Firefox hangs. When Firefox is killed and restarted it works again. Audio in other apps continues to work all along.

So it may not be a pulseaudio problem per se (except for the notion that pulseaudio should be able to recover from whatever the hang is). Not sure if another bug should be opened; if someone wants me to do that, let me know.
