Well, 1) clearly doesn't apply to me, I'm running on Core Duo 6400.

As for 2) it is true that I have noticed PA start using 100% CPU for
a few seconds before exiting. Randomly. A lot of times I find it gone
in the morning, with no music playing during the night.

As for sound card, I'm using a bog-standard Intel Corporation 82801H
(ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02).
