One is WINE applications. Winecfg test sound is distorted (sounds awful). Spotify running WINE plays songs way too fast. A flash based program play distorted sound. The common thing for all of them is that under Applications in Sound settings it says alsa-plugin and it flashes very rapidly between "No application is currently playing" and alsa-plugin. It almost looks like flickering. I've testet a normal wave file using aplay and that was okey, no problems.
