Comment(by deryni):

 To move forward we need to figure out what is causing the problem. If
 disabling sounds stops the problem then we know the sound code is the
 issue, if disabling the nautilus integration plugin stops the problem then
 we know the problem is in the nautilus plugin.

 If sounds are the problem, given that this was on Ubuntu the problem is
 likely an issue with gstreamer when it is configured to use pulse audio
 and not something we can do anything about.

 If the plugin is the problem then there may be something we need to look
 in to.

 If you have the necessary information please post it here and someone will
 reopen the ticket.

 Yes, I saw you indicate that turning off the nautilus plugin fixes it I'm
 just looking for clear confirmation.
