Bear in mind that you also are extrapolating your experience. Actually, 
the original poster (OP) is talking about bugs, so this is at least a 
two user experience.

There are a lot of complaints. E.g., search "crackling sound" on Arch 
Linux forums. I even saw complaints on forums not dedicated to Linux at 
all. Negative image of PulseAudio is becoming folklore.

Returning to OP's claim, please, share your thoughts. Do you think that 
the claim is false or you have competing suggestions at hand?
