Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) reached end-of-life on January 27, 2014. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more.

Yes this bug affects all ubuntu releases since at least 13.04 No I haven't found a solution yet. This was the best I came up with. You can try to increase the default-fragments number but that will increase latency. A number of 5 is a compromise between latency and probability of crash. I suggest

Artur Agostinho Araújo : Did you ever find a solution? In 14.04, with the fragment sizes you suggest this is better, but still crashes periodically. This plugin is amazing! Especially if I could control how many channels were upsampled on a per application basis (ie 2.0 -> 2.1, not 2.0 -> 5.1)

I think I found a way to at least minimize this issue. From the pulseaudio logs I found that for the AC3 plugin it isn't using the default fragment settings from /etc/pulse/daemon.conf which are: default-fragments = 8 default-fragment-size-msec = 10 Instead it adjusts to the nearest latency with

I added this to the a52.conf file located in /us/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/a52.conf: ctl.a52 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string default 0 } type hw card $CARD } And now I get this from pulseaudio: I: [pulseaudio] alsa-si

Thanks for giving attention to my problem. The hardware decoder is integrated in the logitech Z-5500 speakers. I don't have knowledge of any specific limit on the amount of data. There is however information regarding a maximum hw buffer size on the pulseaudio logs: D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: T

do a52 require any specific (minimum) amount of data to be written before you start the hardware decoder ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188425 Title: Audio breaks up and pulseaudio

Updated alsa-lib and alsa-plugins to latest version 1.0.27. Unfortunately the a52 plugin makes pulseaudio crash immediately. Had to compile the alsa-plugins against libav 9 instead of libav 0.8.6 (that comes with raring) to make it work! Unfortunately the problem with audio breaking up persists. Th

This is the pulseadio log where you can see the dca alsa plugin doing it's job. There is no registry of audio breaks! ** Attachment added: "pulseaudio log with dca alsa plugin" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1188425/+attachment/3696819/+files/pulse_20130606.7z --
