Comment 34 for bug 66483

I was looking at the alsa code this evening and noticed that putting the following line into ~/.asoundrc should be a workaround for my issue:
defaults.pcm.dmix_max_periods -1
It seems to have solved the problem without any side effects, but only for some applications. Without this option, supertux is staticy, yet with it, it isn't. However, rott is just as staticy with this option as without. I don't really understand the alsa code enough to truly grok this option's implications. If you find that it resolves some issues, such as with supertux, it might be worth posting in the alsa bug thread that I started.
