Hello all,
The thread on 'crackles in audio' reminded me of a similar problem
which upset me for some years now.
I normally run Jack all the time, and for apps that don't support it
there's an ~/.asoundrc like this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 zita-mu1:in_2.L
1 zita-mu1:in_2.R
}
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
}
}
If you don't know what zita-mu1 is, see here:

The only use case for this is viewing youtube videos with either
Chromium or Firefox, which will use ALSA's default device.
This works ok but after some time I get 'crackles'. It sounds
like a buffer wraparound. Repositioning or stopping/restarting
the video usually solves the problem, but it will come back
after some time.
I see no reason why things shouldn't 'just work'. And I've been
wondering: is this a long-standing problem with ALSA's Jack
plugin, or are the browsers doing something wrong ? In either
case, is there a solution (not involving PA or loop devices) ?
Ciao,

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
