While this sucks as a bug report, I can confirm that 0.9.13 does indeed work without those patches far worse than 0.9.12 did. With those patches, it works just fine. All of those patches seem to be git patches anyway. care to provide a descriptive of the patches and where are they available from fedora ? (maybe descriptive is optional if lennart says we should apply them). They're in rawhide recent rpm (pulseaudio-0.9.13-4.fc10 to be exact). They are clean git patches, so each has a full description. They're already prepared to be used by (recursive) epatch - each has a numeric prefix, so it's only a matter of packing them in a single tarball. 0022-make-sure-to-use-64bit-rounding-even-on-32bit-machin.patch is definitely needed; the bug it fixes causes all sorts of issues on some 32-bit machines (see for example https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462200#c41). In my case, without the patch all media playback applications (mplayer, mythtv, flash, etc) display severe stuttering and a/v syncronisation issues, even total stalls of playback in mplayer. Pulseaudio also uses far too much CPU (35% or more), which would be a serious issue if I was using realtime support. Both of these issues are fixed by the patch. (This issue may be specific to users of HD97 audio codecs, but they're very common these days.) The rest of the patches also look like good candidates for being applied to the package, but since I'm not affected by any of the issues in them I can't comment. They can be extracted from the Fedora SRPM with rpm2tgz; the appropriate SRPM can be downloaded from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/pulseaudio-0.9.13-6.fc10.src.rpm.

I'm trying to get a hold of Lennart to see if he can release a 0.9.14, since that's going to be much easier than going to apply 22 patches... Created attachment 177003 [details]
