Bug#703869: audacious: Garbled audio using PulseAudio output on Intel 82801 AC'97

[Luís Picciochi Oliveira]

Package: audacious
Version: 3.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #703869

Hi,

I'm using audacious 3.4 and this bug is still present. I also experienced it
with 3.2.4.

I'm using Pulseaudio:

$ dpkg -l | grep pulse
ii  libpulse-dev:i386                             2.0-6.1
i386         PulseAudio client development headers and libraries
ii  libpulse-mainloop-glib0:i386                  2.0-6.1
i386         PulseAudio client libraries (glib support)
ii  libpulse0:i386                                2.0-6.1
i386         PulseAudio client libraries
ii  pulseaudio                                    2.0-6.1
i386         PulseAudio sound server
ii  pulseaudio-utils                              2.0-6.1
i386         Command line tools for the PulseAudio sound server
ii  vlc-plugin-pulse                              2.0.7-3
i386         PulseAudio plugin for VLC

And this is my audio card:
$ lspci |grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family)
High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

The workaround suggested by Ryan works here too: I set the buffer to "100 ms"
and I didn't experience any more "POP!" or "BRRK!" sounds as I did when the
buffer was set to "500 ms".

Running 'audacious -V' provides no output when the audio errors occur. I'm not
sure how I can debug further into Pulseaudio (if this is a PA problem). As far
as I could test, other PulseAudio programs don't show this problem.

Feel free to ask for whatever might help debugging this.


Best regards,
Luís Picciochi
