Public bug reported:

When I was playing a flash video the screen froze and the audio continued a bit 
and then stopped for a minute or so and then started for a few seconds again. I 
was able to ssh into my laptop and save the logs. Syslog said:
pulseaudio[2242]: [alsa-sink] alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value 
that is exceptionally large: 591416 bytes (3352 ms).
pulseaudio[2242]: [alsa-sink] alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the 
ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
so I did. The full logs are attached. This bug happens often but I can't 
reliably reproduce it and it seems very random.
