Nope. Running without the faulty RAM (4GB as opposed to 12GB) and
RhythmBox runs continuously (hours) while Spotify halts and cannot
resume when pulseaudio terminates and restarts.

Title:
pulseaudio suddenly stops. No dmesg entries. Nothing in the syslog
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
this only happens when sound is through the PCI sound card. When i
connect speakers to the motherboard output (I lose the 5.1 component),
pulseaudio never dies.
I have switched and replaced the sound card to no effect but I never
really thought that was the issue.
There seems to be no evidence of the failure unless I run it from the
command line with -vvvv, when eventually I see a 'killed' message.
The pulseaudio log collects initial messages, but nothing else is
echoed to the log - which could be anything from 3-20 minutes
[typically].
I'm more than happy to assist in getting whatever logs are required, but
nothing I've seen documented seems to help.
