I started messing with default sample rate and at one point, I had really good sound from mplayer playing music but as soon as I started speech-dispatcher, then it all went to hell again. In fact, the music playing through mplayer even got distorted. As soon as I killed pulse and restarted it again, then it sounded good again. Speech-dispatcher keeps screwing it up. At one point, I had pretty decent sound coming out of gnome along with Orca using speech dispatcher but now I can't seem to get pulse back right again. I can't believe how volital pulse audio is. No wonder so many people have so much trouble with it. It may be very complicated for anyone who is simply trying to use it. I thought alsa was bad at one time but pulse really cuts the cake.
