Sam problem here with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and a Soundblaster Audigy card. This problem has been around for a while, and I normally tend to rid myself of pulseaudio and install esound instead. However, this causes problems due to linking with other required apps, so when you choose to uninstall pulseaudio, it complains about several other dependencies. I just ignore it and install esound anyway as my sound just works...
I recently rebuilt my system which was running 10.10, and installed 10.04 instead. As per usual, the ratelimit msgs started populating the syslog and I was getting all the old crackling noises as well. Going to install esound again now. I'm amazed at 2 things: 1) Why is pulseaudio set to the default when it still doesn't work properly? And I reiterate that there are several dependencies which deter people from uninstalling it. 2) That it's taken so long and it's still not fixed?
