Created attachment 355186 [details] Log file excerpt from start of pulseaudio problems to the time it quits after CPU overload Pulseaudio initially seems to work but after a short while, or maybe under CPU load, the sound breaks up and stops, volume controls become ineffective. The CPU load seems to peak at this time and pulseaudio logs errors. Seen using kernel kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 Goes away on reverting to kernel kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 I think it's also OK with kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. using kernel-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586, pulseaudio, snd_intel8x0 2. start flash video playback (eg. youtube content) 3. wait approx 20 sec, sound breaks up and messages logged Actual results: broken sound, ineffective volume control, CPU load rises Expected results: smooth playback Additional info: the login sound often stutters on this system, a while back it worked perfectly but has since returned to the stuttering state.

Those are all caused by the overruns (pulseaudio commits suicide after it consumes excessive number of cpu time, which disconnects the volume applet). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 506075 ***
