I don't think I had Pulseaudio installed all the time. I try it from time to
time, but especially with voip programs such as skype or qutecom I run into
problems and always remove it after a few days (I really don't like skype, but
unfortunately need it for my work :( ). So it is highly unlikely I had skype
installed all the time while I noticed this bug.

Anyway, if this is an issue with Pulse or gstreamer, shouldn't be gnome
affected as well somehow? And I don't notice any problems now that I use
gnome.

Cheers,
