Description
(copy of problem description from Launchpad bug #511562)
When I use Firefox or Chrome for watching a flash video from Youtube for example, all works good. I then transfer the sound to a remote sink using Sound Preferences > Output > Internal Audio Analog Stereo on myuser@otherhost.
After this is done, the flash video halts. This is also true if I restart firefox and start a new video, already having transferred the sound. Sometimes you can see the video taking huge skips forward. For example, on a 3 minute music video, I see 3-4 different frames from different places in the video.
The sound is OK though!
100% reproducible and if I transfer the sound back to local speakers the video resumes and plays perfectly.
Edit:
This doesn't affect just flash, it affects pretty much all applications I can think of.
I have narrowed it down to a buffer underrun problem and I can reproduce it by starting a mp3 with rhythmbox, a Xvid video with VLC, a wav-file with aplay etc.
