Is this an example of the pulse audio problem?

[frumpy_uk]

Seems as if I push any button on my keyboard during video playback the audio sticks and xbmc crashes. My xbmc.log is here : http://pastebin.com/m6d5fb13a

Can some kindly soul confirm if this looks like a pulse audio issue?

thanks

I had the same problem and removing pulseaudio fixed it. Try temporarily by killing pulseaudio. In a terminal prompt type "sudo kill pulseaudio". If that seems to fix the problem you can remove pulseaudio altogether. There are instructions for this in the ubuntu forums.

Thanks, but I get :-

coopsnjo@HP-laptop:~$ sudo kill pulseaudio
[sudo] password for coopsnjo:

killall

killall

That did the trick. I no longer get crashes while e.g. seeking while playing back video. Thanks
