I'm getting this problem, too. Pretty much anything that uses alsa (and therefore pulseaudio through the alsa-plugin) for me has a roughly 30 second delay. This happens with flash, as well as the native Enemy Territory: Quake Wars port, as it uses alsa and is unlikely to ever be updated for pulse-audio. This makes sound on 10.04 virtually useless most of the time for me, whereas sound worked reasonably well in 9.10.
