Hi

I'm experiencing the same problems as Michael, with sound stopping altogether
or starting to crackle in applications run with wine (World of Warcraft,
winecfg, Starcraft 2 as examples).

The distorted sound has happened on:
Ubuntu 11.10 with wine 1.3.30+, alsa 1.0.24 and pulseaudio 1.0
Ubuntu 12.04 with wine 1.4, alsa 1.0.25 and pulseaudio 1.1

The distortion happens with both a Soundblaster Audigy and a Intel 82801I (ICH9
Family) HD Audio Controller.

The messages going to the console when getting distorted sound:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
...

"pulseaudio -k" will make sound work for a while in wine
again without distortion, but the distortion soon returns.
