I've patched (as in attachment) src/daemon/main.c to set the soft
rttime limit lower than the hard limit. This way I was able to get a
backtrace in gdb when pulseaudio received SIGXCPU due to excessive
real-time CPU usage:

Can someone point out the likely cause, or is this not enough
information? This is pulseaudio 0.9.22 from Ubuntu Natty.

Make rlimit_rttime soft limit smaller to enable debugging
