Not quite sure what this has got to do with pulseaudio...

I think this could be releated to permissions problems or perhaps Arts
or some other application doing bad things to pulse and locking it up.

There is also a lingering problem with something somewhere changing the
permissions on /tmp/pulse-$USER to root:root which I've not 100%
resolved yet (I thought I had fixed it).

The best forum for this is in mdv bugzilla or on the
cooker at mandrivalinux.org mailing list. I am the Mandriva pulseaudio
maintainter so we'll hopefully get to the bottom of it there ;)
