Comment 36 for bug 66483

Hi ryan,
Thanks for taking the time to help us track this down.

Setting SDL_AUDIODRIVER to jibberish does cut off the sound, so the parameter does work.
Setting it to alsa works, but with fuzziness.
Setting it do dsp removes the fuzziness, but then there is the downside of using OSS instead of ALSA.

I'm downloading the source of Neverputt as I write this, and I'll post back if it seems like Mix_MusicVoulme is causing this.

So, with your results, we have two possible sources of the problem:
1) SDL_mixer crackles when Mix_MusicVoulme is not at 100% and is using ALSA.
2) ALSA crackles when the volume is not 100% (although non-SDL apps seem to work fine, so I kind of doubt this).

There might be a third problem, but I don't see it yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
Jacob
