Nothing seems to correct the problem, even though it seems possible to get the audio back to normal by closing all audio applications for a little while (less than 30 seconds AFAICT), including Firefox when there's a flash video on pause, and trying again (if a second user is connected, same story, even this user audio apps need to be shut down). The computer has an ICH10 Intel controller (GB EP-45 DS4). The computer is also affected by bug #433654, but the problem reported here wasn't there before (using Karmic since Alpha 4) and appears even if only one user is connected after boot. I've left Totem open with the problem while reporting the bug with ubuntu-bug. Computer has all updates, and was just booted 20 min ago, with Totem playing audio for about the same time before the problem occurred, and a single user logged in.
