Hrm. My otherwise and previously working pulseaduio (0.9.10-2ubuntu9.1) seems to have started occasionally stuttering today with rhythmbox. I am running it in a terminal window with -vvvv and there is nothing interesting in it's output when these stutters happen. It just seems to print: D: module-rtp-recv.c: Checking for dead streams ... periodically but I don't know that that is corresponding to these stutters though. Any ideas? b.
