pulseaudio workaround for alsa-driver bug

pulseaudio workaround for alsa-driver bug

[jack craig]

Hi alsa-developers,

I wanted to report my recent issues with audio on fc11.

after an update from fc10, my audio started failing. not the failure to 
year any audio,
but instead, it would start off fine and then tail spin. i am using 
mplayer to
play an internet asf stream to the local audio.

the stream processing failure is described in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514213

i was able to get a workaround from the #pulseaudio guys, but!

they encouraged me to report my experience and its fix to you to 
encourage the fix of this snd_pcm_delay() defect.

if you get a driver fix for this, i am happy to try it out when its ready.

thx, jackc...

Could you please summarize and post together?  In that way, we can
better discuss on ML.


thanks,

It seems that this issue is already fixed in mainstream:

gentlemen,

thx for your response to this issue; as it does appear to have a fix in 
the pipe, i will watch for the next update to verify it.
i am cc'ing the fedora-list so they know to watch for the update as well...

thx again, jackc...
