I believe I am encountering the same issue. It is 100% reproducible on my system.
Open Rhythmbox/Totem/Firefox+YouTube and start a song. Another application (such as Pidgin) plays a notification sound. Expected behaviour: Both sounds play. Actual behaviour: The music stutters horribly for the duration of the notification sound. "Stutters" meaning that it appears to be looping over the same few bytes of PMC data. This is definitely a regression, and effectively prevents two applications from playing sound at the same time. They actually don't even need to be two different applications. If a buddy signs on at the same time as a buddy signing off in Pidgin, the two sound notifications produce this result. The goal of pulseaudio was to handle mixing multiple streams, something is causing it to do the exact opposite. -- sound players make noises when other windows maximize/minimize https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
