 That seems to be repeatable. Playing an .mp3 causes the problem
 to appear immediately. I also get a lot of warnings=20
 
 TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
 
 which I've never seen before. Still, other audio seems to play just fine.
 I've been listening to half an hour of .ogg tracks now and there
 seem to be no issues with that.=20
 
 So it's not that it does not work at all, rather some parameter
 combinations/plugins seem to work together in a bad way.  My concern
 simply is, that I would very much prefer not to _enforce_ pulseaudio on
 anyone if that can be avoided.

 Wait for a time, exactly under the star. Then, if a little man appears
 who laughs, who has golden hair and who refuses to answer questions, you
 will know who he is. If this should happen, please comfort me.  Send me
 word that he has come back. =20
