Description of problem: I have seen this problem since F11, but it's just an annoyance so I didn't want to let it get in the way of the other, more important nouveau fixes. In almost all cases when DPMS Standby is entered on this laptop while audio is active, there is some stutter & repetition of the last few seconds of the audio material. Sounds like interrupts are blocked for a longer time or in such a way that pulseaudio gets confused. I have also sometimes encountered the situation that pulseaudio became completely confuse if this DPMS standby interruption happened repeatedly. I usually circumvent it by disabling DPMS when I want to listen to the music player for a longer time.

That's a rather odd issue, and I have no idea what could cause it. On that chipset, all nouveau does on DPMS standby is switch the output off and return.
Yes it's odd and I have only noticed it on this HW, so I was assuming this is nouveau related. But now I did the following test: $ while true; do xset dpms force standby; sleep 2; xset dpms force on; sleep 1; done Test with SPDIF output via ALSA device: $ mplayer -ao alsa:device=iec958 <some audio file> ... AO: [alsa] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) -> no audio stutter Test with default device, i.e. pulseaudio: $ mplayer <some audio file> ... AO: [pulse] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) -> audio stutter/repetitions (same kind I noticed with amarok) This seems to be a pulseaudio issue. I'll re-assign it.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
