Bug Description
I see this output from "pulseaudio," but nothing is logged when the sound crackles:
W: [pulseaudio] sink.c: Default and alternate sample rates are the same.
W: [pulseaudio] source.c: Default and alternate sample rates are the same.
E: [alsa-sink-Intel ICH] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
E: [alsa-sink-Intel ICH] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_intel8x0'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
E: [alsa-sink-Intel ICH] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
W: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] protocol-native.c: Failed to push data into queue
This is all with default settings. Disabling the Pulse Audio scheduler doesn't help. The audio output should be flawless. It's practically impossible to figure out ALSA, even with the Internet.

i have seen this on 14.04 & 14.10
Running Google Music from FireFox to Arcam Irdac.
It ran fine for around 12 minutes then after a track change it turned into cracking due to high volume sounded like it was going to crack my speakers.
