Just noticed something new. Even when the origin and target VTs during a C-A-F# vt-switch are owned appropriately, there's a skip.
Rapid switching between VT1 and VT2 cause hellish skips even outside of X when using nothing but console to play music. Xorg is DEFINITELY not at fault here. Even sound playing on VT1 is getting glitched just by switching to another VT, and it doesn't even have to be the one running X. Why VT to VT switching is even messing up the sound at all is alarming. My guess is that during the VT switch sound is being suspended while the system checks ownership of the target VT, and by the time it clears, the buffer has already emptied. Well, my opinion is that if you're validly logged into one VT, leave the sound alone. VT switching should not mess with the sound PERIOD. What should be happening is that all the sound stuff is happening in the background and the system needs to darn well leave it alone when VT switching. -- mplayer vlc kaffeine all players hang/pause when I switch away from the VT they use (to other desktop or terminal) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258158 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
