Hmm, this is starting to sound a bit like a xine bug. A few more questions/directions to try:
1) What backend are you using for aqualung? 2) Is playback still noisy playing files with xine-ui in a terminal? 3) What version of xine and phonon are you running? Here's an old thread on ubuntuforums about your issue, though they don't reach any conclusions [1]. Can you try playing around with the xine- config file? In general, the xine backend playing flac seems to be a bit flaky: Missing playback at the end of flac files -- http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172394 Can't play 24/96 flac files at all -- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182640 Can't fast-forward flac files -- https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/xine-lib/+bug/162470 There is an upstream bug on the xine tracker about noisy playback [2], but the direction they started going was into ffmpeg. The best direction from here is to confirm that the bug occurs when playing with xine-ui, and then following up on that report [2].
