1) Various native ALSA applications exhibit this behavior. In my testing on AC'97- and HDA-based hardware, apps ranging from aplay (using -Dplughw:0, -Dhw:0, and -Dplug:dmix:0) and vlc to GSt-based ones and PulseAudio (using a custom virtual sink) have exhibited this symptom. It would be a bit of a stretch to think that every last one of those native ALSA applications linking against alsa-lib exhibits this symptom in _precisely the same way_. 2) It is unclear whether linux-source-2.6.2[02] are culprits, too. This warrants more investigation.
(As an aside, please do not set the Status to New. It is inappropriate; any of Incomplete, Invalid, and Triaged are appropriate for this vlc task.) ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- (Feisty) VLC sound quality is poor for many video files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
