Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Several things to try:
1) Run /usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties from the command line, and see if you get any errors from HAL or DBus before the crash. Things like "wrong reply from hald.  Expecting an array" might turn up.
2) Try applying the patch I'm about to attach, and see if it fixes things.
3) Even if the patch fixes things, restart HAL, and re-run /usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties. Interesting to know whether you still get the same errors as you probably would have seen in step 1.
