(Get the code!)
An excellent fix has been posted on the Ubuntu forums. Install the "vlc-plugin-esd" and use the "EsounD audio output" as output module.
The EsounD audio output not only fixes the crackling problem but it also fixes the problem of only being able to get sound in one VLC window at the time.
As I pointed out in a previous comment:
"using "hw:0,0" ALSA device or the OSS output module both do fix the crackling problem but unfortunately it's only a partial solution.
When using either of these solutions you can only have sound in only one application at the time. What I mean by that is when you play a media file in VLC and open another one in a new VLC window or a different app (Firefox for example) there won't be any sound.
You first have to close the original VLC window to get any sound back."
I tested it and it fixed both problems. :D
