Hmm, well, it doesn't seem to be the classic problem that some app is 
hugging your soundcard.. but I wonder, what are all those processes 
doing with libsndfile? then again I sit on archlinux, either way it 
shouldn't be a problem as far as I know.. There is also something called 
"pulseaudi" in there too, typo?

Btw, Can't you just remove pulseaudio altogether? or is it trapped in 
some kind of nasty dependency hell?
