Description
When I try to load Youtube, when the videos start playing Firefox 3 crashes. If I run Firefox 3 from the console, I get the following:

I have done a look at existing bugs in the bugtracker, but I can't find anything.
It looks like this is affecting a large number of people, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/371147
I am happy to work towards whatever is needed to determine what is going on. I apologise in advance if there is a lack of information, if there is something that I need to provide then I am more than happy to supply it to you!
An lspci shows the following for my devices:

I know that it's been useful for some others, so I've run pulseaudio -vvvv - I've attached this to the ticket.
