Comment 10 for bug 271595

Thanks Christopher, that offers some great news for Jaunty.

It also means that for Intrepid we should be able to edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and comment out the line for module-hal-detect, and insert a line for setting the Hz rate. Thus ...

### Load audio drivers statically (it's probably better to not load
### these drivers manually, but instead use module-hal-detect --
### see below -- for doing this automatically)
#load-module module-alsa-sink
load-module module-alsa-sink device=front:1 rate=48000
#load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
#load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input
#load-module module-oss-mmap device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input
#load-module module-null-sink
#load-module module-pipe-sink

### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
#.ifexists module-hal-detect.so
#load-module module-hal-detect
#.else
### Alternatively use the static hardware detection module (for systems that
### lack HAL support)
load-module module-detect
#.endif

Refer the bottom of http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Configuring_Sound_on_Linux/Pulse_Audio/Troubleshooting for the details/hint on setting the rate for front:1 (audiohub).

I tried it in Intrepid for me, as per the above config but still get the 'machine gun popping'. Perhaps others with Intrepid would like to try?

Or how is Jaunty Alpha-4 for you ... stable?
