Description FC12-user 2010-02-12 15:44:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

Since the automatic update of pulseaudio-0.9.19-2.fc12.x86_64 to pulseaudio-0.9.21-4.fc12.x86_64, pulseaudio locks up with 100% CPU utilization upon audio
notification of an incoming email. The wav file plays for half a second, and the stops with pulseaudio starting to burn 100% CPU until killed.   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pulseaudio-0.9.21-4.fc12.x86_64 and related pulseaudio-*-0.9.21-4.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

100% reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure Thunderbird to play a wav file upon reception of an email
2. Receive an email
3. Boom
  
Actual results:

- The wav file stops playing after 0.5 second or so.
- pulseaudio burns 100% of one core until killed

Expected results:

- The wav file should play in full
- pulseaudio should not burn 100% of one core, especially when it's not playing sound
