pulseaudio extracted from /var/log/messages for the time that pulseaudio ran with log-level=4

About once a day pulseaudio crashes with that message.  The machine is usually idle when this happens except for skype.

$ rpm -qa | grep -i pulse

Steps to Reproduce: 
Install skype leave it running
use a USB headset (Logitch G35) as well as speakers on-board sound
run xfce4-mixer and pavucontrol, leave them running

pulseaudio[19858]: [alsa-sink] memblock.c: Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(b)->_ref) > 0' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:590, function pa_memblock_unref(). Aborting.
