Hi.... I read your post and from that i would suggest that you should go with some information which i am going to share with you...Binary package hint: pulseaudio When I was shutting down, I got an error saying pulse audio has crashed. The computer shut down before I was able to send the report, so I am sending it now.
Pulse Audio was running fine before I shutdown, and if x org didn't crash on the next time I started my computer, I have a feeling that it would have worked fine then. (As I'm in the command line right now, I know of no way to test it..So, I am just sending this because of the error message, I assume there is something wrong 'under the hood'.... Thanks for sharing the post....
