Sound sometimes stops playing in hardy

[tchomby]

Thanks, I've killed pulseaudio and set everything to alsa as
suggested, sound works right now but since the problem is/was
intermittent I won't know for a while whether or not it has gone.
Seems likely though. I didn't actually uninstall the pulseaudio
package, but changing all the sound prefs should do it I think. Lets
see.
