@ Stephan: I was using Ubuntu Gutsy, so the versions I was using were
whatever was current as of an update on the day that bug was reported.
(I am upgrading to Hardy at the moment, so I can't tell you the actual
version numbers, but they are the current Gutsy ones..)
The pulseaudio daemon doesn't *seem* to freeze. Specifically, when I run
"top" it's not taking up all available cpu power. There's cpu power to
spare but the memory is quickly filling up. I can't comment on whether
or not I am able to play another sound while this is happening, because
by the time a sound would be played the memory bloat would stop my
computer from all but basic and sluggish movement. So it's important
that I immediately drop to a terminal and kill the offending
application, or else I'll have to sys-rq (REISUB) to reboot my computer.
@ Daniel T Chen:
I have not generated any such package. In order to use youtube I have found it
necessary to kill pulseaudio then load firefox. This seems to allow me to have
sound as normal. Please also note that I only suspected pulseaudio was the
culprit; I am not at all certain this is the case. Regardless totem and
rythmbox I assume are supported by pulseaudio, and in any case this is a
serious bug that if disregarded has the capacity to harm the reputation of
Ubuntu.
** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Incomplete

Various programs filling memory up until freeze (firefox 3.0 beta1, totem, and
rhythmbox) possibly pulseaudio
