Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Pulseaudio is making my machine to suffer with low performance on gaming. When I run Fofix the video jerks every time pulse loads buffer. If I increase the buffer size, the jerking becomes more sparse. If I decrease the buffer size, the jerking becomes more frequent. SDL games have the same issue (when using pulseaudio). The new snes9x-gtk (1.52) with Pulseaudio output has this problem too. If I turn-off pulseaudio and use ALSA output everything works pretty well. My machine is a Phenom II X4 processor with 2gb DDR3 1333 and a ECS a785gm-m mobo. My videocard is a 8600gt card. Fofix game runs pretty smooth on Windows.
