Comment 23 for bug 330814

I've tried pulseaudio 0.9.14-0ubuntu11~ppa1~ubuntu1, it worked like a charm for about an half hour, then it stopped playing completely, I've checked user.log, there was about 120000 "snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large" errors, the log was 50 MB and it kept on growing so I had to kill pulseaudio.
