Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Hello,

Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10

Clean Install

pulseaudio:
  Nainštalovaná verzia: 1:0.9.18-0ubuntu3
  Kandidát: 1:0.9.18-0ubuntu3

When I listening music or watching flash video (youtube) pulseaudio crash. I must run following commands:
killall pulseaudio
pulseaudio -D
TEST CASE: After login run Rhythmbox and play music. Open firefox, goto http://youtube.com and watch whatever video. After few minutes Rhythmbox and Firefox freez and pulseaudio go down. I have this problem in i386 and amd64 architecture of Ubuntu. In 9.04 all work without crashing.
