Hi Chris, I've also seen many general issues with Pulse on Ubuntu - it doesn't seem a very stable audio system as yet. It seems quite dependent upon drivers for the audio hardware. I for example have had to disable Pulse as my audio device (AMD8111 chipset) does not work reliably with Pulse. Hence I've had trouble trying to debug RAT on Pulse as well.
