Got this at some point: E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 5244504 bytes (29730 ms) Most likely this is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to the PulseAudio developers.

Please report this issue to the PulseAudio developers. I saw this quite a few times (the function is called several times). While stepping through output of this error: http://pastebin.com/m408f914d Is this it? If not, what am I searching for? In another part I've seen real-time event 62 too, if that means anything. I currently have my integrated nvidia chip enabled too, so some of it may be from it too.
