Bug#428270: libopenal0a: sound is badly distorted on intel audio using alsa

[Paul Wise]

Package: libopenal0a
Version: 1:0.0.8-4
Severity: normal

I recently moved my Debian install onto a new Dell laptop and I have
badly distorted sound and music with the trigger and chromium games the
onboard audio device using the alsa snd_hda_intel driver:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
00:1b.0 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 01)

I wasn't sure whether to file this on openal, openalut or chromium,
please reassign as necessary. When I change /etc/openalrc to use oss
instead of alsa, I have no problems with sound.

I get this when only one app is attached to the alsa sound device and
also when other apps (rhythmbox/etc) are attached.
