ALSA stuttering sound

Trouble with applications playing audio stuttering badly, particularly mplayer with:

alsa-space: xrun of at least 0.068 msecs. resetting stream0.4% 10 0
alsa-space: xrun of at least 0.069 msecs. resetting stream0.4% 10 0
alsa-space: xrun of at least 0.065 msecs. resetting stream0.4% 10 0


Wonder no more, read on at the ALSA Wiki, particularly the comment by Daniel further down on why 48000 is sub-optimal in most cases.

  1. Noticed that myself on my laptop - reinstalled just to verify - worked great till I upgraded the kernal to the latest from the repository.
    Just have to back it from the latest kernal to the Ubuntu 6.06 CD kernal which works better.
