Re: F11 PulseAudio glitching, yes, for real
2009/8/13 Michael Cronenworth m...@cchtml.com: Every so often (every 5-10 minutes) I'll get a stutter from Rhythmbox. This can be during a song or when someone IMs me (Pidgin sound). pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64 Fully up to date F11 64-bit machine. Intel Xeon E3110 3ghz (Dual-Core Core 2) 4 gigs of DDR2 You don't mention your sound card/device which is probably more than important than CPU/RAM. Whilst the glitch might make you think your system is struggling power-wise, it's probably a driver issue. You might want to have a look at this page to check it's not on there: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/BrokenSoundDrivers I'd also suggest running dmesg (or looking at /var/log/messages as root) to see if anything pertinent is in there. In fact, try running - as root - tail -f /var/log/messages. Keep it in sight whilst you're playing music and see if a glitch occurs, check if an error came out in the log. Then you might want to join and send a message to the pulseaudio list with details of the messages, your sound device, and the stuff you mentioned in your email.

I believe that you'd want to capture the output of 'pulseaudio -v' to a file and reproduce the behavior, then file a bug. That's the best start. What does your CPU usage look like during the affected period? -- Paul W.
