Package: libarts1 Version: 1.2.3-1 Severity: important I believe this is a bugs in libarts1 because it occurs when using juK and Kaboodle and anything else that pipes its output to arts but not in Alsaplayer, for instance, and others that pipe output directly to my alsa subsystem. It is not noticable during playback of files like the one used to test the sound on the control module for arts. It is however noticable on almost any rock song you might be able to pick. What it sounds like is boink when loud parts of the song, especially drum hits, play. Instead of the usual drum crash it will go boink. I am on an IBM T22 Thinkpad Laptop with a Cirrus Logic CS4297A rev 4 chip using kernel 2.6.7's alsa Sound Fusion CS46xx driver. My arts settings are: run with realtime priority=yes; Sound buffer=371 milliseconds (16 fragments with 4096 bytes); Auto suspend if idle for 0 seconds; Audio Output=ALSA; Sound Quality=16 bits(high); Full Duplex; and Default sampling rate. This problem would be barely noticable to the untrained ear and has started about since I upgraded to Kde 3.2.3.
