The interval between the crashes is random, from a couple of minutes to half an hour usually. My guess is that the problem is related to the fact that these applications change the input volume while talking. I've been able to reproduce the problem at will by performing a lot of "set source volume" requests to pulseaudio using: while true; do pactl set-source-volume 2 $((RANDOM % 80000)); done the crash happens after few seconds. Attached is the log of produced by running: pulseaudio -k; sleep 0.5; pulseaudio -vvvvv 2>&1 | tee pulseaudio_output The crash also occurs when running pulseaudio with "--no-cpu-limit" as option. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 with all the updates installed, but I've got this problem since 11.10.
