Comment 242 for bug 445849

Most of these issues are gone for me with the latest natty updates. But
every so often pulseaudio screws up. I don't get the rattling sound anymore,
but what I do get is this weird high pitch gurgling noise. The only way I
can describe it is that noise you hear on TV when your watching a show about
war and a granade goes off and deafens someone and they play that loud high
pitch noise. It sounds a bit like that. Killing pulseaudio and playing the
file again fixes it. If I had to have an educated guess on what it's doing
i'd say it's something to do with the sample rates of the playback going
awry or something.

It's very annoying when other's are on the computer with you, it just makes
Ubuntu/Linux look bad.

Obviously, all sound still breaks completely if I so much as touch the
balance/volume/subwoofer sliders in the sound preferences. I don't think
anyone on earth actually understands how this crappy code works. It makes me
scared to ever try SystemD. That's gonna be pulseaudio 2.0.
