Comment (by lennart):

 Something is causing PA's internal memory pool to run over. That happens
 usually when some client opens too many streams or suchlike. Such as a
 flash instance running amok.

 PA should not be that easy to lockup. Maybe PA suspended access to an
 audio device due to idleness and then was unable to resume access again
 because some other client stole the device? if that's the case than you
 can unsuspend the device manually via "pacmd". Or just start to play
 another stream which will cause PA to auto-resume the device.
