Public bug reported:

This problem was originaly mentioned in bug 345627, but I was adviced to
report it separately against gst-plugins-ugly0.10 package.

I have Intel HDA audio controller (Thinkpad R61) and have heavy
crackling problem in certain (not all!) AVI video files (usually
containing MP3 as audio). Usually the audio is crackling, sometimes it's
silent, very occasionaly it's ok. Interesting is that MP3 files play ok.

For example this file has crackling audio:
http://games.on.net/file/8386/StarCraft_II_Cinematic_Trailer
(alternatively http://www.starcraft2.com/movies.xml (Cinematic Trailer))

I have found out that I can solve the problem by:
1. Removing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package. Not convenient, I need support 
for some proprietary formats.
or
2. Removing/renaming this file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmpegaudioparse.so

After that, all AVI files play ok.

This is a regression compared to Ubuntu 8.10. I have the bug confirmed also by:
