Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.19-1
Severity: important

After fiddling with pulseaudio for several days I have determined that it is 
clipping sound or at the very least introducing noise into the audio stream.  I 
played a song via rhythmbox with sane volume defaults for pulseaudio and got 
the clipping.  When I played the exact same song via alsa, I got no clipping 
and the audio quality was superb.

Here's my aplay -L output:

My /etc/pulse/daemon.conf is the default except for using 6 channels rather

provide it.

This is unfortunate. However, as we can do nothing on this bug report
anymore, I will close it.
