> Bug description:
> OpenAL Soft (the default OpenAL implementation) causes troubles in
> combination with PulseAudio that is used by default on the Ubuntu desktop.
> These troubles can be very different going from just no sound to crashes and
> freezes of apps that use OpenAL (mostly games).
>
> The root cause for this seems to be that OpenAL Soft has still no native
> pulse output and the development of one has been stalled (
> http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#OpenALApplications ). So
> instead of using Pulse directly it uses ALSA as it's output and because ALSA
> also has a pulse plugin the sound is routed to PulseAudio and then back to
> ALSA. But this seems to be buggy, in Ubuntu at least ;).
>
> I did this new report to synergize all the efforts of the various reports
> about this issue, so there is already plenty of information on the different
> troubles and on suggested solutions in the duplicates. That's why we should
> try to stay focused here.
