after update to 12.04 pulseaudio crashes regulary

[Lyon Lemmens]

After the update to 12.04 pulseaudio crashes while using wine.

Initially sound plays OK, but at random times pulseaudio crashes. While it does restart, wine itself has lost the connection and the only way to get sound working again is to shut down the wine application, kill pulseaudio and start the wine application again.

I did not have this problem before the upgrade to 12.04.

There's no useful info in /var/log/syslog or .xsession-errors

Does this command fix the issue?
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386

#2 the package is already present, reinstall didn't fix the poblem
