 When I play anything in flash the primary audio always plays with a high
 pitch noise in the background.  Its not so loud that it overwhelms the
 audio, but its definitely easily noticable.  If you mess with the volume
 control for the flash appolication you can set it really low and the high
 pitch distortion will be just as loud while the primary audio is barely
 audible.

 I did get a workaround while just messing with the volume control.  If you
 set the volume control to max for the app the distortion magically goes
 away (not just gets overwhelmed by the primary audio, it completely
 dissappears).

 This only happens in web-based flash apps.  I tested it on all my other
 local players, even ones that use the ALSA playback route like flash does,
 to make sure that wasn't the issue.  They all work fine without the same
 distortion.

 I'm running Archlinux (everything is update from their repos as of
 yesterday) with PulseAudio 0.9.21 and have an Audigy Xi Fi XtremeMusic
 sound card.
