Guess I'm the only one who had a cron job restarting the PulseAudio process regularly.

I had to regularly restart PulseAudio to keep Firefox's context menu working :(

On the one hand, PulseAudio really would have benefitted from a built-in watchdog to restart it its early days. On the other hand, before PulseAudio, I never really had working sound at all, so I consider PulseAudio to have been an improvement.
