Description Davide Repetto 2008-05-20 11:16:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

A spyke in volume happens when audio is initialized by any application
You hear the classical popping sound, whenever an app uses audio, as if 
pulseaudio spyked the volume UP, instead of ramping it up "slowly"

Plus, in many apps che volume control acts "jerky", actually jumping around 
while you move the volume-control sliders.

Sounds like a driver bug to me. If the audio output is initialized no popping
sound should happen. Takashi is working on fixing the remaining issues in those
drivers.
