When I start pulse manually in a terminal with "killall pulseaudio; pulseaudio" it gives this error, but continues to run:
E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_delay() returned strange values: delay 8 is less than avail 656.
E: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

I encounter the bug when playing an avi file in totem. VLC works fine. MP3 in totem also works fine.
After reboot the first avi in Totem works fine, but any other one thereafter fails. In the terminal where I manually ran pulseaudio it just says "killed".
