Bug Description
Hello.
a very fresh installation of maverick, using a newly created account does the same thing. (/ formatted, /home kept but with a new account created for the test)
Step to reproduce :
listen to any music with mplayer/vlc. Every ten senconds, there is a 1second-long mute.
on VLC, every mute makes a
"[0x9888e4c] alsa audio output error: cannot write: Broken pipe"
On the console.
Listening to music as root with mplayer does not change the result (still mute every 10s), VLC does not allow me to launch it as root.
The problem was not present with the live-cd, however there is not difference between the livecd's /etc/pulse and my present /etc/pulse (made a diff to check)
I uninstalled pulseaudio to test, and with alsa there is the same issue. So, this may not be a pulseaudio bug.
