I hope this isn't a dupe. A few people (myself included) are experiencing odd crackling / scratching noises when using pulseaudio. This frequently happens when you try to start a new piece of music or video. Sometimes it will crackle for a few seconds, then play as normal; sometimes it will fast-forward through a few minutes of the song then start playing; sometimes it will crackle then stop entirely and I have to kill pa.
