uninterruptible process with 100% CPU usage

Description

In this bug report, various users describe that Totem (and other applications using pulseaudio) becomes uninterruptible (cannot kill it even with -9) and uses 100% CPU. I also had this a few times and only a reboot solves it.

The cause for this may be in pulseaudio, this is the last output before it happens:

E: thread-posix.c: Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0' failed at pulsecore/thread-posix.c:194, function pa_tls_set(). Aborting.

See also the attached stacktrace, which is originally from this bug report.

I used the wrong link, the bug report where users report this is Totem is 'uninterruptible'.
