Comment 11 for bug 436248

This is still present in 12.04 (Ubuntu studio), but the previously suggested fix of running with
   $ padsp kino
makes both the sound playback and correct video speech work.

(This works because kino is using the old fashioned dsp audio API. It's been superseeded by ALSA,Pulse and others, but the padsp command provides an emulation of the API from Ubuntu's standard pulseaudio desktop sound system. The Kino developers or maybe ubuntu packagers could easily fix by testing if pulse is running, and automatically switching to this command for the launcher. It could be done with a wrapper script rather than changing kino itself.)
