pulseaudio crackles and skips during game play

[nerdy_kid]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

audio skips and crackles for about 5 seconds and then cuts out entirly when playing games such as Warzon2100, Sauerbran, and Nexuiz. The games will not close after the audio stops. The sound works again after I run pulseaudio --kill, but will cut out randomly if i change ALSA volume, or another sound plays. I have noticed that changing the audio setting in the games to a lower refesh rate and with a huge buffer will cause the sound to work consistantly, just with a huge delay. This just happened with one of the recent updates.

could this possibly be caused by the programs using a different refresh rate then the desktop?

No, please reassign this to libsdl.
