Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

Originally reported on bug 365187 and reported here as a separate issue
on Ka-Hing Cheung's request.

When Indicator Applet fails to access pulseaudio it pushes system CPU
usage to use up all spare capacity of one core (most of this is
accounted for by top as "system" time). Seen on Lucid and Maverick. To
reproduce, change $HOME/.pulse* to be owned by root and kill pulseaudio.
To make the problem go away again, rm -r $HOME/.pulse*.
