I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and the audio from Blender 2.48a Sequencer is only a bunch of noise using the package from the repository. Instead using the version downloaded from http://www.blender.org still function very well, even using pulseaudio.
Here I can show you the messages in the terminal displayed by the "blender.org" (the functioning one) version when I play an mp3 file: ################ BLENDER.ORG ######################################### nic...@nicola-laptop:~$ export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse && /home/nicola/Pubblici/blender-2.48/blender Compiled with Python version 2.5.4.
