I'm also having this problem. Cannot use Hardy or Intrepid sound with the default pulseaudio setup.
Like another bug reported, when I open the sound preferences and change to pulse and click Test, it puts up an error message and locks up until I kill gnome-sound-properties.

This is the console output of the error message:
(gnome-sound-properties:30998): sound-properties-DEBUG: setting theme ubuntu
sound-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink': Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [pulsesink.c(634): gst_pulsesink_prepare (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstGConfAudioSink:gconfaudiosink0/GstBin:bin0/GstPulseSink:pulsesink0]

I guess my next steps are to remove pulseaudio and try alsa by itself.
