I simply purged pulseaudio and the problem went away, software sound mixing still works. No more a/v sync problems with video either. My biased opinion is that my laptop runs cooler too, but can't confirm. YMMV.
The command I used was "sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio".
Note that this doesn't fix the bug, only that the faulting app is removed.
