pulseaudio is definitely not the problem for me. but I removed the evolution package and my problem seems to be fixed now, so I suspect that this is an issue with the evolution integration plugin or the evolution-data-server. I noticed that everytime pidgin froze the evolution-data-server was using 100% of my CPU, and I had to kill it
