Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Pulseaudio has been a very large source of problems and bugs since it
has been included as default. This is not a surprise given it's "extra"
layer of complexity and poor comptibility with wrapping existing ALSA
applications. Maybe totem and rythmbox work fine, but for those who use
many other audio related apps that are not jack-based (such as sound
editors, trackers, emulators, etc), incompatibility with it is
constantly an issue and blaming the applications for not being
pulseaudio-friendly is avoiding the problem at best.
Given every new ubuntu version comes packed with new pulseaudio bugs
(crashes, then 100% usage peaks, and now sound corruption and
glitchiness in karmic which still aren't fixed). I always proceeded to
either uninstalling it or replacing it by OSS4, which works flawlessly
and perfect.
However, doing so in 9.10 will make all volume controls, totem, sound
preferences, etc stop working, with no way to fix it given it seems to
be too tied up to pulseaudio.
I'd report pulseaudio existense as a bug itself, but since i can't, i'm
reporting that there's no easy way to get rid of it.
