When I try to load Youtube, when the videos start playing Firefox 3
crashes. If I run Firefox 3 from the console, I get the following:

I have done a look at existing bugs in the bugtracker, but I can't find
anything.
It looks like this is affecting a large number of people, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/371147
I am happy to work towards whatever is needed to determine what is going
on. I apologise in advance if there is a lack of information, if there is
something that I need to provide then I am more than happy to supply it to
you!
An lspci shows the following for my devices:

I know that it's been useful for some others, so I've run pulseaudio -vvvv
- I've attached this to the ticket.
