Can you try the pulseaudio package in my ppa along with the test kernel at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/ ?

1) Ubuntu 9.04 Development Branch
2) Firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
3) Expected: Flash videos play with proper audio.
4) What happens: Flash video plays the first 5-10 seconds and then the
browser crashes. This problem occurs on multiple websites (hulu, bbc,
etc.). Here is the terminal output from a crash:
