[pulseaudio-discuss] Reading audio from pulseaudio at consistent rate

[Steven Anderson]

Hi, first time poster here, thanks!
I posted a question on Stack Overflow, but here I have a simpler version of
the question that should be easily reproduced.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56210653/pulseaudio-cannot-read-buffers-at-consistent-rate

To reproduce my question:

Run parec in a terminal.  Then run pavucontrol.  Notice the difference in
the output of parec, with and without pavucontrol running.

Why is this happening?  What is pavucontrol doing, or what is parec not
doing, or what is happening to the pulseaudio server when pavucontrol is
running?

I don't know much so please explain as much as you can/like.
Thanks!
Steve
