It seems that pulseaudio is crashed when trayinng to play something and automatically restarts
I have a HD 4350 and i have the same error after the kernel update. And videos (only tried youtube (flash and html5)) played too fast.
Actually, not a real bug, HDMI audio is now disabled by default. Adding radeon.audio=1 to the kernel line in grub.conf will re-enable it. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39832 for some more details.

I'm going to close this one out as this was an intentional upstream change. As Xavier noted, radeon.audio=1 should get HDMI back.
