This Bug happens in ubuntu x64 (stable release) too.  Makes every system
unusable after some time. After a day, pulseaudio consumes 3 of 4 G of
RAM and 2G swap. It eats up ~ 0,4 Meg every 5 seconds directly after the
system has started. This happens until the system is unable to handle
this issue. I think this is really a major issue because the system is
getting unusable slow after some time. Please note that no audio
application is running (except the default Ubuntu system sounds).
