Nope, I also removed pulse yesterday (since I don't really need it anyway) to

try  and see if it solves the problem, and it didn't, all it resulted is in
some breakage (no /etc/asound.conf, the speaker icon disappeared from the
notification bar, can't control the PCM volume, only Master). But anyway,

I'll have to discuss that on the distro's forums for solutions, even though
I didn't get any answers yet.

Yesterday (after removing pulse) I've watched videos all evening without a
single problem, but as of today I tried to listen to some music (under VLC

as cmus doesn't work after removing pulse) and the (alleged) bug resurfaced
again.

I tried to run "aplay -v" as that topic you linked suggests, but it returned
this:


ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '1'
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function
snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings

ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat
returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:4248:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer
returned error: No such file or directory

ALSA lib conf.c:4727:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file
or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory

I guess there's an alsa configuration problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
Here's the guide I followed for removing pulse from the distro:

Also, the videos were mostly from YouTube that I watch through VLC (as I don't
like the flash player for eating all the resources and skipping a lot of
frames as a consequence), so the sound stream is also 44100Hz same as the

music I listened to. (all of it was from CDDA)
