As said earlier, the lesser part of the problem is a regression in VLC 2.0.4. It is fixed in VLC-2.0 commits 0554a01551ae49613062c2d96701d277000e4109 and 9701837bb454c682ba5697e665d79d6e51ae305d.
The more quantitative part of the problem is a delay of about 2 seconds in PulseAudio startup when the "alternate sample rate" feature is enabled. I am not familiar with PulseAudio internals, so I do not know the root cause. It might also be a weird ALSA driver bug, for all I know. Anyhow, the problem can be worked around by forcing 'alternate- sample-rate' to the same value as 'default-sample-rate' in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, e.g.: default-sample-rate = 44100 alternate-sample-rate = 44100 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069232 Title: Sound lags when opening video files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/1069232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
