The pulseaudio daemon seems to keep crashing.  When audio is playing, it's
stopped.  When no audio is playing, I get a click from my speakers.  The only
related thing I can find in the log files follows (from errors.log.  Repeats.):

[code]Oct 13 16:25:55 localhost pulseaudio[2914]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: ALSA
woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to
write!
Oct 13 16:25:55 localhost pulseaudio[2914]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: Most
likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_ca0106'. Please report this issue
to the ALSA developers.
Oct 13 16:25:55 localhost pulseaudio[2914]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: We were
woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or
another value < min_avail.
Oct 14 19:34:57 localhost pulseaudio[4335]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup
failed.
Oct 15 18:58:25 localhost pulseaudio[2504]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already
running.[/code]

Sometimes the daemon restarts (xfce territory) and sometimes not.  I'm
reporting this on the ALSA bug tracker, too.
