Does this problem still occur with pulseaudio 5.0? If so, please attach
the output from the following command (do this before seeing the
problem(:

pulsaudio -k ; pulseaudio -vvvv --log-target=file:/tmp/pa.log

This makes the daemon log verbosely to /tmp/pa.log

Also attach the output of `pacmd list-sources` both before and after the
problem has been seen.


Thanks
