[Bug 341819] [NEW] vlc has crackling sound after standard installation

[Christian Göbel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vlc

Testing the alpha5 for Ubuntu, Jaunty (plus recent updates) on my 3 year old laptop
(centrino platform) I discovered the following problem:

I installed VLC via the gnome menu:  applications - add/remove.

I expected that the installation of VLC would lead to a good standard configuration for Ubuntu
without sound problems. 

Instead I had a bad sound experience (e.g. watching a film). The sound
was crackling strongly.

Searching the Ubuntu forums I found a hint that the vlc-plugin-puls - package is required.  
I installed the package and my sound problems have been resolved.  

In order to fix the problem I suggest to PUT the package VLC-PLUGIN-PULSE as a DEPENDENCY for Ubuntu, since pulse-audio
is used anyway by Ubuntu.
