@Stefano, many thanks! From the pulseverbose log it seems like there is a driver problem of not reporting the hw position correctly. ( 135.836| 0.000) D: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: avail: 336892 (filled: 15876) ( 135.836| 0.000) D: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: 90.00 ms left to play; inc threshold

So, can you try two different methods of position reporting? Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following line: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 Reboot your computer and see if it works better, and also try this version: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2 Reboot and retry.

I realized I did not start banshee as recommended (and I have not uploaded the 2nd log). I upgraded pulseaudio from ppa:diwic/fighting-rewinds, then I performed the test again, this time following the instructions. During the test, the sound was indeed broken as expected, with long pauses

I cannot reproduce the previous behaviour with the special pulseaudio version. It works better than the one from the distribution (tested with banshee, vlc and youtube). Skips are hardly noticeable and not frequent. However, when I played a mp3 file with vlc I heard a crackling sound for several
