Hi ALSA ML We noticed that our PulseAudio has crackling / skipping noise which doesn't happen on normal aplay. And it was removed if we do below load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 According to google, it say tsched Since 0.9.11. Use system-timer based model (aka glitch-free). Defaults to 1 (enabled). If your hardware does not return accurate timing information (e.g. Creative sound cards) you can try to set tsched=0 to enable the interupt based timing which was used in 0.9.10 and before. Here, what does this "return accurate timing information" mean ? Is it struct snd_pcm_ops::pointer ??
