Comment 31 for bug 280534

I'm sorry for being misleading, it is indeed true that when the pulseaudio daemon is killed, wine sound returns to normal.

I was unaware that the default target in alsa was now pulse even in absence of ~/.asoundrc or similar... I hadn't looked at /usr/share/alsa/*.conf.

It is also true that changing default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf does *affect* the type of crackling I hear in wine apps, but I cannot, through my random and uneducated tweaking, make it go away.

However, on my system the following things work fine:
1. Wine apps using oss redirected to pulseaudio via padsp sound perfect
2. Apps using native pulse, like amarok and gnome system sounds, sound perfect.
3. *I think* other apps that use native alsa and are routed through pulse, such as flash 10. (I'm not sure about how this is coded, but I *thought* it was straight alsa.)

Anyway, I'm confused... is this bug report now about general audio crackling due to pulse at all, problems with pulse via alsa, or is it specifically about wine? My problem only seems to show up using wine... should I file another bug report?

I'm sorry if I'm further cluttering this bug report, and thank you.
