The above advice *should* work. There is something wrong with your setup, and 
I would bet on that qtel app being broken or misconfigured or...

You don't want to start pulseaudio as root. Ever.

And this is also discouraged, unless you *really* know what you're doing. You 
don't want that either.

How about killing qtel, then killing pulseaudio, then starting pulseaudio, and 
finally starting qtel, in that particular order? Would that recover pulseaudio 
and cpu usage? (N.B. You should *not* need to be root for any of this, regular 
user privileges should suffice.)
