Comment 68 for bug 479296

I have a strong feeling these bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/203158
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosbox/+bug/429373
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/368941
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/444950

As well as several other bugs I am not aware of, and several problems for which bug reports may or may not be filed yet (it's difficult to judge bug reports with similar symptoms)---are all related to this one.

Something is not right with SDL+pulseaudio+karmic's kernel.

According to bug 203158, the sdl issue is not present in Lucid.

What was changed that resolved this issue?

I know we only have a few weeks until the official release of Lucid, but I tend to keep my distro about six months behind to avoid the first wave of bugs. Therefore I'd like to fix this in Karmic before upgrading to Lucid.
