Version: 4:4.3.1-4 (using KDE 4.3.0) Compiler: cc OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Hi, I have Pulseaudio 0.9.16-test installed and I get too fast/skipping audio (it skips short parts of the audio so the resulting playback seems faster, pitch is the same). Video files show correct video but audio is out of sync and too fast/skipping too. In Systemsettings/Multimedia I have set Pulseaudio as the preferred output. I tried Amarok 2 mplayerthumbs and the test-buttons in Systemsettings/Multimedia. KPlayer, which uses Mplayer ESD or ALSA output is fine though. Also I setup notifications to use an external player (Mplayer) which works fine too. Best regards, Sladi
Nobody can reproduce this in the Amarok team. Could this be a Pulseaudio problem? There is a report about stuttering sound with Pulseaudio: bug 195938, might be related.
Hi, yes this bug 195938 is probably the same issue. I have a rather complex PA setup consisting of many LADSPA effect sinks. When I increase the scheduler and priority of the PA daemon, the problem rarely occurs anymore.
Is this still valid with KDE SC 4.4.2/Phonon 4.4.0?
(In reply to comment #3) > Is this still valid with KDE SC 4.4.2/Phonon 4.4.0? Hi! Unfortunately I only have a virtual machine to test with (so I can't really test multimedia). I used the Xine backend when I filed this bug (Gstreamer didn't work).
Can somebody else test this, please?
While I'm not sure how to test with that particular setup, the Xine Engine does have particularly poor PA support while the GStreamer one has very good support. We use GStreamer by default in Mandriva (we have never preferred the Xine one) and it usually performs well for us.
Currently I use Pulseaudio with the vlc-backend and can't reproduce this, using Kubutnu 10.04 RC. Since the VLC backend is likely going to replace the Xine one, consider this solved.
Nice, I couldn't test the VLC backend, I think it wasn't packaged.
