Reassigning to pulseaudio and confirming -- I recall seeing this issue
sometime back. Restarting pulseaudio makes it all work again.

Title:
  sound from all programs becomes metallic/robotic / highly corrupted

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a tough one to describe.
  On the latest updated 11.04, something goes wrong with the sound system so that all applications (e.g. Banshee, Rhythmbox, Google voice, etc) no longer produce sensible sound until the next reboot.   Voices sound like crazy robots; music sounds highly metallic.
  I believe this happens after a one-time stress on the RAM, ie when my memory usage goes beyond the RAM (to use swap) just once, this occurs and cannot be fixed by restarting applications or fiddling with sound settings.
