Comment 35 for bug 496616

Ok, does anyone who suffer from this *not* use an -rt kernel? My desktop PC, where I always boot the current Lucid -rt kernel, has it. My laptop, which runs the -generic kernel, has never had any problems with sound.

May this have something to do with pulseaudio's use of rtkit and the interaction of the latter with the -rt kernel? Or with older kernel versions in general (in Lucid the -rt kernel is 2.6.31 instead of 2.6.32)?

Also, one annoying manifestation of this problem (I think!) is flash videos losing sound half-way through playback - anyone else seen this?
