[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 301206] Re: [regression] wesnoth has horribly crackling sound

[federico.biasibetti]

Hello, I'm having (presumably) the same issue here, but on Karmic beta.
Wesnoth's sound crackling, and eventually going away completely. When
this happens the application also freezes (especially when trying to
quit).

I suppose this has something to do with pulseaudio because if I start
wesnoth right after rebooting, I get no crackling and no freezes. But if
I start, say, skype, or another pulseaudio-aware application (or if it's
already running when I run wesnoth), then I get the crackling and the
freeze.

I have tried fiddling with the buffer size and the sample rate in the
config file (in ~/.wesnoth), but it doesn't help.

Bug description:
This bug might be related to bug 243345 and/or bug 66483, but I have this problem starting with intrepid and the other bugs are much older, it used to work fine with hardy on my hardware.
wesnoth has a horribly crackling sound on several effects (like the sound a turn-start).
I tried changing the sample_rate, loaded the audio-driver snd_hda_intel with position-fix=2 and set the in-game volume to 100%.
Nothing helps, the sound is still horrible.
This is definitely a regression from hardy.
