Still have the problem, just updated now. Also sometimes when I boot up,
the sound cuts out after a few seconds of playing. Adjusting the volume
brings it back up but then it will die in another few seconds. This
might be unrelated (It could just be specific releases of pulse audio
are broken during testing or something).

In any case I tried the following as a hack to keep the audio from
sounding tinny, but I'm get occasional pops with it, it might just be
because the sound happens to be cutting out at that time from the 2nd
bug so it might be ok for just stopping the tinnyness (you might also
want to increase the sleep value if the popping is occurring).

while true; do; sleep 1; amixer set Master 1+; amixer set Master 1-;
done

Does any one know if there is some kind of new pulseaudio mixer
monitoring daemon? I get the feeling something like that would be
causing the problems and that everything would work if it could just be
turned off since basic pulseaudio seems to be working fine with the alsa
utilities and there must be something that is causing all the channels
to alter each other when I adjust the volume using the gnome mixer.

Might be worth looking at replacing the mixer applet with something else
and binding the volume up/down on the keyboard to amixer.

Since we are like a week away from Karmic, I get the feeling this isn't
going to be fixed and I'm going to be stuck with it for the next 6
months. That and the random Xorg/compiz %100 cpu usage lockup I keep
getting might make this version close to unusable for me :(
