I would like to add that i faced a similar problem with VLC using --input-slave alsa:// .
While dmesg shows no errors , i was getting stuttering audio while recording. Only workaround i found was to launch vlc using the padsp launcher script and using --input-slave oss:// Once i switched to oss emulated input vlc recording was perfect. Using 10.04 lucid with vlc 1.1.2 . ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Opinion -- Pulseaudio input hangs randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
