Public bug reported: Right after boot I have no audio on my machine until I run pulseaudio -k. Then I have normal audio for a very short time (a few seconds) until it begins stuttering. The stuttering gets progressively worse with time, and re-running pulseaudio -k DOESN'T solve it. Sometimes it disappears by itself for a few minutes only to restart as described later. While trying to play audio, I get many of the following two messages in /var/log/syslog, both when I have no audio and when I get stuttering:
