Bug Description
This may be related to bug 330814 and/or bug 320875. The messages are slightly different (e.g. "report this issue to the ALSA developers" vs. "to the PulseAudio developers).
Upon resuming from suspend, I found pulseaudio and syslogd spinning, writing the following message to the log:
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
Mar 15 17:37:04 perseus pulseaudio[4116]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_
many times per second. There were no preceding messages which seemed to be related. The complete syslog is huge, but I can send it if it's likely to be of use.

Thanks for your report Matt. Upon discussions in #ubuntu-bugs, this seems to be like the two bugs you mentioned, but its different enough that I'm going to triage and mark as high and talk to dtchen to see if the fixes he made on those two bugs would apply here too. I can confirm this also on my UNR on the dell mini 9. I will also leave as the linux package depending on what actions dtchen wants to take.
