[Lars Noodén]

Please run "apport-collect 927542" so we can get some more information about your hardware.

Please also get a log from PulseAudio, as per these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log.

I'm not familiar with PowerPC, but based on the verbose log, I would try the tsched=0 workaround described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting
