Just a follow up on my previous post concerning stuttering with gstreamer and ALSA. Sorry if its a little off topic (not directly related to PulseAudio). I was able to get gstreamer based applications to not drop out anymore by increasing the buffer size. With gconf-editor add the parameter "buffer-time=400000" (for 400ms buffer size) to the audiosink, chataudiosink and musicaudiosink keys in /system/gstreamer/0.10/default. So the key values should look like: alsasink buffer-time=400000
The default is 200ms though, which seems like more than enough. This suggests that there is something more sinister going on in regards to latency (as others have suggested). I think the nvidia driver is a good candidate, since it seems like it most often occurs when doing min/maximize of windows and not when other non graphics processes are consuming all of CPU (at least in my case). -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 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
