2008-12-02 02:47:38 Luke Yelavich pulseaudio: statusexplanation After doing some testing with the pps file attached to this bug, I've found the following: OpenOffice.org appears to be linked against gstreamer, presumably for audio and other multimedia output. However, when attempting to set the audio output to either oss or pulseaudio in sound preferences, and examining the device nodes used in a terminal while openoffice plays the audio from a pps, it doesn't appear that openoffice uses /dev/dsp when oss is selected. In the case of pulseaudio, openoffice still plays audio if pulseaudio is running, and pulseaudio is chosen in sound preferences. While this doesn't help solve the stutter, it does indicate that openoffice doesn't seem to be respecting the sound preferences settings. In addition, I'm enclined to believe that this is not an audio infrastructure problem. It has something to do with the way openoffice is working with gstreamer. This was all tested on ubuntu 8.10, with OpenOffice 2.4.

This really seems like some sort of weirdness in 8.10, but I may be wrong... Feel free to bounce back. :-)
