Comment 68 for bug 66483

Ryan - not 100% sure this is the bug I should be looking at, but I seem to have a similar crackling noise when viewing flv files in Totem. First thing I tried was your SDL-1.2 branch. Previously, pausing and playing the file would remove the crackling - so it wasn't always present (hence my reason for suspecting this bug may not be my issue).

Regardless, using a screencast downloaded from http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/videos/ep070/ep070.html as my test file, it crackled like crazy, pausing and playing several times would occasionally remove the crackle. After applying the latest from svn, it appears that the crackle is still there but the pausing and playing seems to be more successful, less likely to hear the crackle than not. It also sounds like the crackle starts for a nano second but then stops in many cases when resuming playing the file.

Apologies if this is a red herring, just haven't seen any follow ups to your request so I thought I'd give it a go.
