[Bug 321028] Re: 8.10 - avidemux - trouble initializing audio device

[Dean Mellas]

Actually, I just tried your suggestion -> going back to ALSA with
"default" typed-in in place of "dmix" (as there is no drop-down to
choose it, like with the other options).  While that got rid of the
original "trouble initializing..." problems, as you said it would, it
did not provide useful audio for me while working - I got very "noisy"
unstable sound.  I had to use Pulse Audio to clean up the sound while
working, except that, now the sound "pulsed" (no pun intended) - the
sound drops out briefly about every 2 seconds - like clockwork!  I can
at least work with that, because, the final renderings are unaffected.
I could not work with the noisy audio at all.  All this started with
Intrepid and follows through the same way in Jaunty.  No problems with
Hardy or earlier.

So, somehow, this really does seem to be a problem, as I no longer have
a complete work-around.  All of the systems I have to work with (both
laptops and desktops) have the on-board Intel audio chip sets, and this
trouble seems to affect them all, though the degree of the trouble
varies.
