 I'm running pulseaudio 0.9.21-63-gd3efa-dirty in Ubuntu 10.04, and I'm
 getting some severe stuttering or skipping when trying to play audio -
 regardless of what player I'm using. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to
 happen when watching video (with sound, obviously) or when using Spotify
 in Wine.

 It seems to be a known problem, as per this post
 ([http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9286404]) on the Ubuntu Forums.
 However, the proposed solution ([http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2009/05
 /fixing-pulseaudio-stutters-pauses.html]) does not seem to work. Trying to
 switch to the old scheduler makes pulseaudio refuse to start, and setting
 a higher priority doesn't seem to make any difference.

 Attached you can find the output of lshw -c SOUND. Let me know if you want
 any more information. A solution or workaround would be much appreciated,
 since I can't even listen to music at the moment - except for in Spotify
 using Wine.
