Looks like pulseaudio is the bad guy, here is waht I did and the result:

- all updates done for today (should have given karmic beta)
- in synaptic select pulseaudio for uninstall, and click ok to uninstall all 
dependencies
- restart
- start rhythmbox, and play radio music
- start mythtv-frontend while the backend-server on intrepid is running
-- frontend complains that database schema is 30 versions behind, BUT THE MUSIC 
KEEPS PLAYING
-- clicking ok to end the frontend, and no interruption in the playing music!

on another front, I can start skype and the sound from e.g. test calls
overlay the background music, and the microphone works again.

I don't think it was such a good idea to have pulseaudio introduced as
default system in the last alpha. Now we have a beta with major sound
issues!

(if you now could offer a working downgrade of the karmic mythtv-
frontend to 0.21 - because what you have does not work - I would be
really pleased!)
