+Just my experiences after todays updates of PA (64-bit):
+Right after update everything worked as expected (tested Rhythmbox
+(mp3), browser (flash plugin), sound recorder.
+
+After reboot the same except that the mic does not work anymore.
+
+Another thing: when I plugin headset the mic and output work, internal
+speakers are off. When I unplug the headset, neither mic nor speakers
+are working (although the settings in PA configuration are ok). I have
+to  restart PA to get back sound. This "plugin, plugout" worked
+before.
