I have this strange problem where in some applications (for example Penumbra
Overture or Chromium) audio will stutter unless I have the Volume Control
running.
I run it and the stuttering goes away, I close it and it comes back again.
Any ideas? Is this a bug that should be reported?
0.9.21 on Fedora 13
Cheers,

That is probably because the volume control enforces frequent wake-ups
of PA and a low buffer size - and that do for some reason make your
audio applications work. If the applications uses PA correctly then it
is probably a ALSA driver issue.
(I have seen a similar issue with the OSS emulation in PA.)

Just to add that similar issues happen for me when running CPU-hungry
apps together with the 'simultaenous output' module.

Hey, you're absolutely right, I just tested it because I always
use simultaneous output as well and in fact the stuttering goes away when I
change to a single output.
Should this be reported as a bug?

1. Please bottom-post, its convention and easier to follow =).
2. Yes it should be reported.

1. If it's convention I'll try not to forget to do so. For it being easier
to follow, that's very personal, because I just don't agree :)
