@Daniel T Chen: If there's a bug in the SIMD code why not just force PULSE_NO_SIMD, or revert to previous SIMD code, whatever it was before the issue started (for the Ubuntu package), until the SIMD code is fixed by PulseAudio?

At least, clearly this is what seemed to be the problem for me. As soon as I set PULSE_NO_SIMD, it's clear the problems vanished. Although there may still be some problems with volume>80% amplifying things, that's a separate issue than the rattling. It seems like this would be a good solution for people in the meantime, unless it makes the volume control too slow or too inaccurate without SIMD or something.

If there's any information I can personally provide you that would expedite the fixing of this bug, then please let me know.
