pulseaudio slowdowns
Hi,
Over several years, different releases, Fedora and CentOS, two
independent computers, every now and then some glitch happens and
suddenly:
audio/video files start playing slowly
the audio pitch drops accordingly
I've never been able to find the trigger, but it can happen when you go
through the pulseaudio settings (e.g. you open the thing so you can
adjust the sound level of one thing - such as the file playing in a web
browser, separately from the system ding alert sounds). Or, some
application causing the system to ding out loud, starts this fault
occurring.
Doing a killall pulseaudio doesn't reliably resolve it (rarely it
does). Likewise, with the app playing the sound (VLC, audacity,
firefox).
