Comment 35 for bug 252335

The latest packages from Luke's PPA seem to work well for me. They appear to resolve the random latency and crackling issues I had with pulseaudio in hardy.
CPU usage remains at about 2 percent while audio plays although running pavucontrol boosts pulseaudio usage to 20 percent without audio playing and 30 percent with. No crackling or crashes noticed though.

I am unable to test the more advanced features like network audio or seamless switching between sinks.

Since it seems highly unlikely that this will make it into intrepid, perhaps this should eventually become a packaging request for Jaunty?
