Public bug reported:

I use a Samson «Go mic» for recording audio with Audacity. I connect my
earphones to the mic and use it for hearing both my own voice live and
the computer sound (I have to select it in Ubuntu's sound output
settings).

This works fine for a while, and I can record and play back through the
mic. Seemingly randomly, however, pressing play or otherwise trying to
start playback sometimes makes Audacity skim quickly through the audio,
playing garbled sounds which I assume are a fast forward version of my
audio. Sometimes, it resumes normal playback before it reaches the end
of the file, and everything seems fine. Most often, though, it does not,
and pressing the stop button or anything else crashes Audacity. If I
restart Audacity and restore the autosaved audio, the problem persists.
However, selecting another audio output in Ubuntu's sound settings fixes
the problem.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10, but this has been a problem since
at least 15.04. I now use Audacity 2.0.6-2build1.
