I see similar pulseaudio 100% CPU usage, and it can be killed only with kill 
-9. Attaching gdb to the process shows the backtrace:
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00c27333 in pa_mainloop_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0
#1  0x00c27761 in pa_mainloop_iterate () from /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0
#2  0x00c27824 in pa_mainloop_run () from /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0
#3  0x08051d54 in main (argc=3, argv=0xbfd1c054) at daemon/main.c:924

I'm not sure this is pulseaudio-related at all, but I'm seeing freezes,
too on Karmic. The freezes are actually quite curious: it's not a hard
lockup, but I can click the panel menu with the mouse, and the menu bar
item gets the orange highlight -- however, no sub-menu pops up during
the freeze. It appears only after the freeze. Also, if I try to do more
things, it occasionally turns into a harder lockup -- only the mouse
pointer moves but nothing else can be done.

@Dinero Francis: does the above thing in the lockups match with what you
are seeing?
