Two notes:
-the pulseaudio volume control has the (IMHO annoying) side effect of
starting recording on all devices in order show a realtime input level.
This may be the reason it eat the CPU (anyway, it shouldn't!)
-"connection failed: connection terminated" means that pulseaudio
crashed. Have a look at yout /var/log/syslog right after the crash.

About the backported packages: I backported all the packages need to
make it work on my PPA
https://launchpad.net/~cavedon/+archive/ppa
i.e.
-bluez
-pulseaudio
-alsa-lib

Unfortunately the newer pulseaudio (0.9.15) depends on a newer version
of alsa-lib which is not available on jaunty.
Unfortunately, I see it really unlikely that alsa-lib get officially
backported, because they are a very common library.
