Crackling sound on Linux
I have crackling sound playback with VLC. During audio playback I have cracks every 6-9 seconds. This is happens no matter ALSA or PulseAudio is used an in different input formats (mp3, ogg, flac, wav). I have recorded VLC output using PulseAudio monitor stream and it has fragments of silence that caused cracks. In the attachment: original sound fragment, recorded sound fragment and screenshot of Audacity with the recorded fragment.
I use Mandriva Linux 2010.1 i586. My soundcard is "ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller".
