(sort of) Good news!

* Installed an Ubuntu Precise LTS system, from scratch, in an empty partition:

foobar@dale:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise

* Tried to break audio by any means, I couldn't.

* Installed the suggested kernel from raring, as in:

foobar@dale:~$ uname -a
Linux dale 3.8.0-27-generic #40~precise3-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 19 14:38:30 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

foobar@dale:~$ apt-cache policy linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic
linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic:
  Installed: 3.8.0-27.40~precise3
  Candidate: 3.8.0-27.40~precise3

* Opened mumble, ran the audio wizard a couple of times, and also played the sample ogg from the default "Examples" folder, and audio playback died.

Attaching pulseaudioverbose.log, obtained by following the ubuntu wiki instructions.
