Hi,
I've seen the same problem on Ubuntu 8.10 after upgrading. (Used to work fine in 8.04). The problem occurs with MSN, Yahoo, and in fact any network.. not just IRC.

If I go into Pidgin preferences and choose "No Sound", the problem goes away.

Running gdb over Pidgin, I identified that a deadlock was occurring in a pulseaudio function.
