Comment 18 for bug 366708

I have the same issues, although with an internal audio card, however I have a USB Mic that does have an integrated sound card and can plug a headphone into it. Puleaudio randomly dies, averaging about once or twice a day while listening to music/youtube/other_things. However pulseaudio dies about once every 30 minutes if I am doing recording with the USB microphone thus forcing me to restart the recording application. I have been having the same issue since at least 9.10, just becoming more important and irritating lately due to heavy recording.
