This bug can be reproduced on my system as follows: 1. On Karmic, install sox by: sudo apt-get install sox
2. Use the 'play' command in a terminal: play /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Im-Message-In.ogg (use any sound file. the one above should be present by default though.) 3. Observe output from above command: /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Im-Message-In.ogg: File Size: 22.7k Bit Rate: 177k Encoding: Vorbis Channels: 2 @ 16-bit Samplerate: 48000Hz Replaygain: off Duration: 00:00:01.03 In:33.3% 00:00:00.34 [00:00:00.68] Out:12.3k [ -==|= ] Clip:0 play WARN alsa: under-run In:33.3% 00:00:00.34 [00:00:00.68] Out:16.4k [ | ] Clip:0 play WARN alsa: under-run In:100% 00:00:01.03 [00:00:00.00] Out:49.2k [ | ] Clip:0 Done. This is repeatable, though the number of "play WARN alsa: under-run" error messages varies. -- Audio has occasional skips/dropouts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
