 (copy of problem description from Launchpad bug #511562)

 When I use Firefox or Chrome for watching a flash video from Youtube for
 example, all works good. I then transfer the sound to a remote sink using
 Sound Preferences > Output > Internal Audio Analog Stereo on
 myuser at otherhost.

 After this is done, the flash video halts. This is also true if I restart
 firefox and start a new video, already having transferred the sound.
 Sometimes you can see the video taking huge skips forward. For example, on
 a 3 minute music video, I see 3-4 different frames from different places
 in the video.

 The sound is OK though!

 100% reproducible and if I transfer the sound back to local speakers the
 video resumes and plays perfectly.

 Edit:

 This doesn't affect just flash, it affects pretty much all applications I
 can think of.

 I have narrowed it down to a buffer underrun problem and I can reproduce
 it by starting a mp3 with rhythmbox, a Xvid video with VLC, a wav-file
 with aplay etc.
