anagor: You are correct, I am not in the pulse-rt group which would probably help.
However, in my searching I discovered something that I think was the main cause behind my stuttering. Before I updated jaunty, I didn't have the ath5k driver, and I've been using ethernet to connect to networks. I just checked dmesg and found many messages like this (every 20 seconds or so): ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2412MHz) Something in the jaunty update must have installed the ath5k module and it was auto-loaded into the kernel. Removing it seems to have made my audio far less stuttery (one or two pops and clicks so far). Obviously, the presence of this module, doesn't mean I *should* get stuttery audio, but it seems to be a contributing factor. Anagor, perhaps you have an ath5k driver causing similar stutter problems? I don't know enough about the ath5k or pulseaudio codebases to determine whos fault it is :) But my ath5k hardware doesn't seem to work whatsoever, and, despite the fact that ath5k loaded, the "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" is disabled in the hardware drivers dialog. My ath5k did work on intrepid with the backports modules. lspci for ath5k card: 03:00.00 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
