Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Since upgrading to Intrepid, when listening to music, I notice sometimes
that the music will change pitch for a few seconds temporarily, just a
very subtle amount, and then resume normal playback.
I noticed that it happened once when my system was under load and the
music dropped out for a fraction of a second, leading me to believe that
one of: (the Rhythmbox gapless playback engine, GStreamer, PulseAudio,
ALSA, my hardware) is compensating for discrepancies in timestamps by
dynamically resampling the audio, i.e. speeding it up when it's lagging,
or slowing it down when it's leading.
This is very unnerving.
I am unsure if it affects anything other than Rhythmbox.
I have tried to force the situation by, e.g., interrupting the Rhythmbox
process temporarily with gdb and then resuming it, but it doesn't seem
to do anything.
