I can't seem to reproduce this.Can anyone confirm that Pidgin in either Hardy, Intrepid or Jaunty still freezes for them when typing or when playing a sound effect?

To confirm that this is still an issue, update your system using System > Administration > Update Manager
Once that is done, run pidgin from a terminal, if you get an error like this in the terminal before the crash, please confirm you are still experiencing this bug:
(pidgin:####): GStreamer-CRITICAL

If you are one of the people who said removing evolution fixed your bug, I think you are not suffering from this bug. Instead you should subscribe to the following bug which explains the issue between evolution and pidgin:
