Happens to me most often when streaming video over the Internet (maybe once every 30-60 minutes, possibly around the times my bandwidth dips too low, though I'm not at all sure of that. I have to kill pulseaudio, restart Firefox (since it crashes when I kill pulseaudio), and re-open the video).

Also happens sometimes when my computer is idle, with (as far as I can see) no programs trying to play any sounds. (My Pidgin has "mute sounds" enabled.)

I'm not sure at all if my comments above help or mislead, but I am sure this bug happens to me!
