[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#550550: audacious: playing Ogg streams results in something approaching white noise

[John Lindgren]

My guess is that your sound card doesn't support floating point output;
the ALSA output in 2.1 doesn't handle errors well and in that case would
continue blithely on to use 16-bit integer output, generating static.
You should be able to work around the problem by unchecking "Bypass all
of signal processing if possible" in the preferences window.  That will
make Audacious convert the floating point audio to 16-bit integer
output.
