Comment 6 for bug 1259070

O.k., so some more testing. Here's what I did:
$ pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1
$ parecord -r pulsetest.wav
record sample in audacity and export to "test-audacity.wav"
$ pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/arecord.log 2>&1
arecord -f cd -d 5 test.wav
pulseaudio -k && LANG=C pulseaudio -vvv > ~/audacity.log 2>&1
start audacity and record with input hw:0,0 (not pulse)

then converted the output wav files to ogg for size reasons. Find all the files attached.

Funnily, parecord gives better output than arecord, audacity using pulse input is unbearable, but using alsa hw0:0 seems fine again...

My final aim is to make skype working. Right now I can't talk to anybody, they just won't understand me because of all the noise...
