Comment 26 for bug 479375

I have something I thought could be useful.

To avoid confusion, I've found a workaround and I'm only posting here in case it helps you guys who work on ubuntu. I'm trying to get into linux but just don't have the time.

Thus, excuse amateur posting, and let me know if I can provide more info.

I use Xubuntu 9.10 and needed to rip a cd. I apt-got soundjuicer, it also installed
gnome-media
pulseaudio-module-udev
pulseaudio
libgnome-media0
libpulse-mainloop-glib0
gnome-media-common
pulseaudio-module-x11
pulseaudio-utils
libpulse-browse0
pulseaudio-esound-compat
libspeexdsp1
sound-juicer

One of these must be the mixer that suddenly appeared in the systray. Anyway, one of these caused the stuttering and glitches. I removed soundjuicer and autoremoved the rest of the stuff and my sound is back to normal, and I'll just get KDE and lame next time I need to rip.

My computer is a hp pavilion ze5700, ze5702ea to be more accurate. You might want some logs and things off me, I' busy and can't promise I'll be able to help much or respond promptly, but I'll try.

Excuse me if it's a pointless or offtopic post, once again, I only posted out of good will, and not to ask for help or complain.
