Description Fabricio Godoy 2009-01-04 03:45:35 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I play mp3 files on Rhythmbox or Totem the file is played well but on third second the playing is (like) paused and unpaused.
If I change device on GNOME sound preferences to OSS the mp3 file is played well.
If I play mp3 file on GNOME MPlayer, targeted to pulseaudio, the file is played well.

This began to happen after upgrade from Fedora 9 x86_64 to Fedora 10 x86_64.
Maybe the problem is the new pulseaudio that cames from new Fedora.
Please contact me if more info and tests are needed.

PS: this not happens to ogg files

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Rhythmbox or Totem
2. Play any mp3 file
3. Wait first seconds


Actual results:


Expected results:

Unfortunelly I noticed to happen to ogg file too.
Comment 2 Fabricio Godoy 2009-01-05 23:47:23 UTC 
I resolved this issue changed the file '/etc/pulse/default.pa', from:
  . . .
  load-module module-hal-detect
  . . .
To:
  . . .
  load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
  . . .

But I don't know if this is a workaround.

It's a work-around for PulseAudio, and a likely broken ALSA driver:
