Also, banshee uses gstreamer internally, so maybe another player (i e Rhythmbox) would still show the bugs, although with less randomness? Or even a raw gstreamer pipeline (the example is for an ogg file): gst-launch filesrc location=music.ogg ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825709 Title: Choppy sound due to excessive rewinding on Atom chipsets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/825709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
