I've had it occasionally fail on Ubuntu Hardy, but as of Ubuntu Intrepid
beta that I'm currently running it's a lot more flaky; it's only really
Rhythmbox that uses Pulse at the moment - I often wonder if the problem
is due to something else trying to use the raw alsa device.

I found today doing a pasuspender /bin/cat    and then ctrl-ding the
cat got rhythmbolx back to life.

<sigh>yet another audio daemon</sigh>
