Public bug reported: Approximately every minute, my audio breaks up briefly (for about half a second). This happens with any application, not just my music player. When using PulseAudio, the last piece of audio is repeated for about half a second. When using ALSA directly (uninstalled pulseaudio and installed alsa-oss), it is just silent for about half a second.
I tried the workaround described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting with both position_fix=1 and position_fix=2, but it made no difference. I had this issue since Ubuntu 12.04. This is specifically with my Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller card, not with my nvidia card (I only have analogue headphones, so I can't test the digital output).
