<pre wrap="">explore recent threads, look at your /var/log/messages and see if our

i have a work around if you are getting alsa bug reports in your

<pre wrap="">How about a clue, Jack? So much hokum has been talked that I've been
skipping the sound threads, particularly as everything else plays
correctly. I thought or a moment that I was going to get a whole track
played (my problem is in amarok, but exactly the same as the rhythmbox
one). This is what happened:

^C
The moment of the 'Increasing wakeup watermark' message is when it started
to race and crackle.
Is this what you were expecting to see? I so, what's the workaround?
Just out of curiosity, I'll do the same experiment while playing it in
kaffeine, as I have never seen it happen there. It will be interesting to
see whether the same messages appear.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Yes, in kaffeine the same thing happened. Everything was going swimmingly
until

So it's an alsa bug?

sorry, i didnt want to pollute the group with WAG's if its not the same
issue.<br>

href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514213">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514213</a>
for defect details.
this is apparently fixed in the mainline and due next release.
i am curious if you dont also get the messages entry about the alsa bug for snd_pcm_delay() ?
anyway, the fix that worked for me, posted earlier, ...
to disable the g-f feature. do this, in
/etc/pulse/default.pa,
change, ...
load-module module-hal-detect
to
load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
kill off the existing pulseaudio daemon so it restarts and reads the config update.
