Not really, but we can try to grasp at straws.
Try this:
1. Open kaffeine/xine and start playing something.
2. Open a mixer program. Make sure the settings are not cranked up
while kaffeine is playing.
Does kaffeine have some kind of audio output plugin? Perhaps an audio
output thing (like using libsdl or native alsa for audio, kinda like how
mplayer does it).
Does kaffeine still crackle if you "renice -20" it?
Sorry, I didn't realize that an app actually worked OK. That makes it much
harder. These suggestions are all grasping at straws, so please don't
laugh. :)
