Fading in/out of sound stutters

[Joshua Lückers]

Whenever Ear Candy fades in/out the sound it stutters. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

lspci tells me this about the soundcard:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

I have the same problem with an Intel HDA card.

11:27:~% lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

I'm able to mitigate this bug (though not eliminate it) by reducing the fade speed a couple of notches down from maximum.

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

I eliminated fading for problematic applications

I'm using Earcandy 0.9 on Ubuntu 10.04 and the problem isn't resolved. I've tried with rhythmbox, flash , vlc and totem.

Using 0.9+bzr12-1 (from natty) on maverick, the fade speed has to be very, very (unusably) slow to eliminate the stuttering.
