Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

After a few minutes of using pulseaudio on 32-bit jaunty, it crashes.
This happened with various apps, among them Iango )gnome-games),
multimedia-systems-selector, and skype.

Sometimes, running after an initial crash pulseaudio -k and then pulseaudio 
solves this.
At other times even that does not help, and I get the message:

yo...@ubuntu:~$ pulseaudio
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.

requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary privileges:
N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt', PolicyKit refuse to grant us the 
requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource 
limits.
N: main.c: For enabling real-time/high-priority scheduling please acquire the 
appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase 
the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally

report this issue to the ALSA developers.

Attached are pulseaudio -vv output during an initial crash and lspci output.
I will happily contribute any extra information needed.
