Bug#650638: pulseaudio: Cheese has a crackling noise in recordings

[Kees de Jong]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: normal

Hi,


I experience a crackling noise  while I record a video with Cheese. The audio
is proper again when I restart the PulseAudio daemon.
But only for about 20 seconds. The sound is also proper for 20 seconds when I
mess around with the gstreamer-properties.
But non of these methods are enough for me to do a normal recording.

I did modify my daemon.conf to get more performance, but I get the same issues
with the default configuration.
I hope I supplied enough information.


Grtz.
Kees
