As far as it concerns me, the bug is solved. It was really hard to track down, but as mentioned above, the bug was in the pcspkr and snd_pcsp modules, causing a hardlock on every system bell beep (bash auto-completion, firefox search, thunderbird new mail, etc.).
The patch for snd_pcsp was already in 2.6.28, but the one for pcspkr only went into 2.6.29. ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59bdb43769f2c3995badcd930d799451f5a39f76 ) (See also: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10347 ) So, Jaunty is still affected, workaround is to blacklist the pcspkr module. Decide if you want to release a new kernel because of this, and feel free to close this report.
