Public bug reported:

When playing music in a flash player in Google chrome, I would lose
sound on my headphones every 5-10 minutes.   In pavucontrol, Chromium
shows up on the playback streams but the actual output bar is frozen in
place.  When I click on the configuration tab and change the profile of
my GameCom USB headset, the sound comes back and the stream's output
indicator moves again.

I have attached a verbose log and default.pa both without tsched=0 added
to the udev module load, as adding tsched=0 did not solve the issue.
Please note that I had also commented out load-module module-suspend-on-
idle  in default.pa.  This change was in effect when logging the
attached log.
