PA problems largely come down to the audio chipset, so it's always useful to mention that. Mine is Intel ICH6 - and Intel audio chipsets seem to be among the worst for PA working. However, as I said, fall-back is smooth, and sound works perfectly, so no complaints from me.
Mine is an Audigy 4 for reference: $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 4 [SB0610] Audigy 4 [SB0610] (rev.0, serial:0x10211102) at 0x1000, irq 18
