@David: I've had a little free time to test this on my Maverick PC with the 2.6.33-rt kernel which suffers from this. I tested by opening several wav/mp3 files with Totem, skipping around in the timeline for about a minute or until the bug was triggered. I found that:
- pulseaudio 0.9.22 does not solve the problem
- your pulseaudio package alone seems to solve the problem
- your gstreamer package alone seems to solve the problem (now thinking, does this affect mp3 playback? maybe I didn't insist enough on the mp3s this time around)
- both your packages at the same time seem to solve the problem
The fact that both updated packages independently fix the issue would appear to indicate that this bug is (at least in my case) the consequence of several sub-optimal bits of code rather than a single point of failure...
