Is there any particular application that you use where it is repeatable
every time? You might try going through each of your apps that use sound
(rhythmbox for instance) and see if you can get a repeater. The
application may not be the actual problem, but it may lead you to
something that the app uses that is the problem. I assume that after the
sound dies you've tried alsamixer from the terminal to see if anything
got muted (pcm etc).
