[pulseaudio-discuss] Sending all audio out S/PDIF

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Nasa at 01/09/09 12:00 did gyre and gimble:
> 1. add option snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=3 to alsa-base in /etc/modprobe.
> 2. add tsched=0 option to module-alsa-sink
> 
> Do you know if these are good suggestions and/or if there are better ones?  

Passing tsched to module-alsa-{sink,source,card} or to 
module-{udev,hal}-detect is a work around and disables glitch-free mode. 
This should not really be a "solution" to the problem which, as lennart 
pointed out is to fix the driver in the kernel.

You should really speak to the Ubuntu kernel people and ensure the 
relevant fixes from Fedora or upstream are included in the kernel.
