Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
After testing this with three different PPS files, each one with an embedded soundfile, I can say this:
- Ubuntu 8.10 updated to 2008-11-15
- Tested with OSS-ALSA-PulseAudio
- Tested with OpenOffice 3.0 from PPA (just in case it was a 2.4 bug only)
- Tested with typical PPS files sent by email and consumed by mothers and grandmothers alike :-)
Ubuntu 8.10 (brand new install, no upgrade)
OpenOffice.org 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2
Acer Aspire 5630 (two-year old pretty standard laptop)
I expected the sound to play flawlessly as slides went by.
Instead, the music/sound gets interrupted every 0.5 sec or so and continues to play after another 0.5 sec, giving the impression of a faltering sound. It's very annoying.

Same PPS file works as expected using:
Ubuntu 8.04.1
OpenOffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2
though it's worth mentioning that it was tested on a different machine with "Autodetect" in sound preferences.
