Comment 29 for bug 17770

Created an attachment (id=5591)
Modified /etc/asound.conf using nForce chipset, dmix _AND_ solving the alsa
stuttering bug under latest gstreamer plugin with alsasink (for me - YMMV)

Hi,

I've attached my /etc/asound.conf to this bug as I was having loads of problems
with this too....

Sound played to Alsa OSS emulation worked perfectly, but amaroK using alsasink
or "gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc ! alsasink" stuttered - like audio buffer
underruns....

So I set my buffer_size to 24756 (a number slightly bigger than 24 * 1024 :) )
and fired up amaroK with a bunch of high-bitrate OGG files. Then launched 24
firefox windows by madly clicking on the icon and ran "gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc !
alsasink" on and off (ctrl-C ing it in a shell, wait a few seconds, start
again) - load climbed to about 6 on my athlon-xp2200+ with 1GB RAM. Audio
didn't stutter or jump once, played perfectly - from a USB2 mounted HDD.

Here endeth my first real Ubuntu bugreport and attempted fix - hope it helps
someone somewhere....
