It was a different time, so maybe they're unrelated as you say. Because the sound continues to play, I suspect that it's just the graphics stack that freezes. To verify this assumption I've installed openssh-server on the laptop; if the freeze occurs again, I'll ssh into the machine and I may be able to gather useful debugging info.
