If you don't know what zita-mu1 is, see here: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-mu1-doc/quickguide.html> 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 personally use pulse as a front end for jack (unloading all pulse's alsa and alsa detection modules) because my wife uses skype. But the MU1 still looks useful. No crackles here, but not sure what the difference is.
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) ?
How about firefox with jack? I know the work is done and the jack works and can be had in self built versions now. It should show up in a release soon.
