This new winepulse patchset seems to introduce very bad audio distortion for me. Sound is played at around half of its original speed with what sounds like empty buffers alternating with filled buffers. I'm currently cross-checking by reverting to the old patchset.
Changing PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC only introduces visible audio lag but doesn't fix the distortion. This was different with older releases (before native pulseaudio support).
Running pulseaudio 11.1 here usually without setting PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC. My setup worked with both USB audio and builtin audio just fine until now, switching audio sinks and sources also worked.
If there's anything I can help with diagnosing this, let me know.
Thanks Kai, this is great feedback. Is every application affected, or only some applications? The patch is intended to improve audio with USB hardware and remove the need for hacks like the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC override, using winealsa on PA systems, or disabling PA altogether.
Could you send me a short log with the channels from https://wiki.winehq.org/Sound along with a description of your audio hardware? Either private email or on bug 28282 is great.
Thanks, Andrew
