Please make sure that /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (or ~/.pulse/daemon.conf if you have that) is configured for 6 channel audio with "default-sample-channels=6". Also, an output of "pulseaudio -vvvv" (you might need to stop pa first by issuing pulseaudio -k first) would be very useful to track down what is going on. > * Tvtime -- no audio (doing `padsp sox -r 48000 -w -c 2 -t ossdsp > /dev/dsp -t ossdsp /dev/dsp` works, but causes noticeable lag) > * Amarok (xine) -- audio, susceptible to crashes, esp when I scroll to > fast in Firefox Xine should work fine.

Flash is broken. libflashsupport can fix a few issues but doesn't solve them entirely. If PA eats too much CPU this might be caused be the resampler we use. Consider playinging around with "resample-method" in daemon.conf and setting it to "trivial".
