Some new, and I think good, news!

Bug #427439 morphs at end into someone having a problem with "noise floor calibration timeout" messages. He repairs this problem by trying a new kernel, located at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/

Well now that I am an expert :-) in installing new kernels, I decided to try it too.

First of all, my machine has been up for about 1/2 hour now since the install / reboot, and I see no more "noise floor calibration timeout" messages.

Secondly, I'm into about 25 minutes worth of music playback with no stuttering so far. There was one pulseaudio message displayed shortly after starting up Exaile, which read "pulseaudio[1404]: ratelimit.c: 2 events suppressed", but other than that, no more complaining from pulseaudio, either.

So, 1/2 hour of audio bliss doesn't completely convince me, but with the old kernel I would have had 10 or so stutters by now. I am getting somewhere at least!!!
