Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
After a few minutes of using pulseaudio on 32-bit jaunty, it crashes. This happened with various apps, among them Iango )gnome-games), multimedia-
Sometimes, running after an initial crash pulseaudio -k and then pulseaudio solves this.
At other times even that does not help, and I get the message:

Attached are pulseaudio -vv output during an initial crash and lspci output.
I will happily contribute any extra information needed.
This seems similar to bug #319118 and bug #329920.
My pulseaudio version is 0.9.14-0ubuntu9.
