I am having a similar problem (the problem appeared yesterday). It seems that pulseaudio is trying to start again and again, leaving a zombie process. The command ''ps -el | grep pulse'' shows a process ID that is growing ever and ever:
Code:
$ ps -el | grep pulse
0 S 1000 12778 5036 0 80 0 - 4595 pipe_w ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
1 S 1000 12780 12778 0 80 0 - 21093 hrtime ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
1 Z 1000 12786 12780 0 80 0 - 0 exit ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio <defunct>
one minute later...
Code:
$ ps -el | grep pulse
0 S 1000 12912 5036 0 80 0 - 4595 pipe_w ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
1 S 1000 12914 12912 0 80 0 - 21093 hrtime ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio
1 Z 1000 12918 12914 0 80 0 - 0 exit ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio <defunct>
Maybe my problem is different. My syslog shows:
Code:

This shows that my problem in an interaction between ''pulseaudio'' and ''jackd''. It is not the same as the problem initially posted in this thread. Sorry!
