Comment 12 for bug 213705

I have exactly the same problem as jacobbb suggested in the comment above. totem plays slow and vlc plays at normal speed without audio. well, i learnt to live with this problem by logging out of ubuntu and logging in again.

But the above solution is better but not completely. After I execute

<pre>killall pulseaudio </pre>

Everything is back to normal. Totem gives an error dialog if I play anything after I run the second command given...

<pre> pulseaudio --log-target=syslog </pre>

Hope that helps
