Response #2 to "Current SVN (808) broken, exit on Error #6"

Ok, and looking at this I've found the problem. Somehow (!) pulseaudio has started itself up in the background (silently) which is known to cause a problem with sound .. a signal #6 however is new (!)

pulseaudio comes as standard on the latest version of Ubuntu, I don't know how to disable it apart from killing it .. which seems to have no effect on anything else.

Anyway .. it might be an idea to catch this as I'm guessing I'm not the only one running Ubuntu Gutsy ...
