Bug#711007: audacity: plays back at high speed and then hangs

[Steve Handley]

Package: audacity
Version: 2.0.6-2
Followup-For: Bug #711007

Dear Maintainer,

When audacity plays a sound file, it plays at 4 or 5 times normal speed,
sounding garbled, and then hangs. It has to be killed manually with system
monitor.

If audacity is launched from a terminal, and the sound played, the line:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
occurs repeatedly until the program is killed.

If audacity is launched from a terminal using the command:
env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 audacity
then audacity seems to do everything it's supposed to do.
