[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#724060: alsa-base: Strange skips with ca0106

[serge]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.25+3~deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
alsa produce strange "forward skips" randomly with any audioplayer but not
always.
I don't know how to explain it correctly in English but maybe you can hear
recording from desktop -
wav, about 15 mb
http://metafight.ru/files/skips.wav
mp3, about 2 mb
http://metafight.ru/files/skips.mp3
I don't know what exactly lead to that situation. When two or more programs is
using alsa maybe?
I have 32 bit Debian 7.1 installation on the same machine and no problems with
alsa there.
Sorry about bad English.
Have a nice day.
