Possibly the cpu frequency changes cause pulseaudio or alsa to loose sync. > > But I'm not going to run my CPU on a fixed frequency like that because > it's always either inconveniently slow or a power hog.

By the configuration change you mean the one I suggested or the tsched one you suggested earlier in the bug report? -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-pulseaudio-devel mailing list pkg-pulseaudio-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-pulseaudio-devel
