** Description changed:

  The audio lags in rythmbox and on websites like youtube. on videos, the
  image also sometimes lags.
  
  running 
  pulseaudio -k  
  "solves" the problem, hence the assumption that this is a pulseaudio bug.
  
- Here's the hardware information(after having stopped pulseaudio), what
- type of additional information can I provide to help pinning this issue?
