You have been subscribed to a public bug: I recently installed pavucontrol, and everytime I run it the entire Gnome session hangs after a few seconds. The mouse pointer will still move, but the window manager and all windows are frozen. System still runs though, as I can access the other virtual terminals just fine. Nothing gets printed to /var/log/syslog when this happens.
I'm tagging this as a problem in gnome-session, but I realise it may well be in pulseaudio or the audio driver.
