Haven't seen that one myself, but I did just peek at dmesg and the
system log on my workstation for stuff... Nothing in dmesg, but I do
get slightly different spew at various different intervals while audio
is moving around the system, along these lines:

Jan 30 11:39:43 xenon pulseaudio[4466]: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 353.20 ms

I see 'em as often as 15 seconds apart, and as infrequent as 23 minutes
apart from earlier this morning. I think it was pidgin triggering these.

Lets just say there are still some kinks being ironed out... :)
