@K900: Yeah, looks absolutely the same.
As already stated yesterday I have no idea. The other Arch users (JackWinter in #pulseaudio channel) made tests for me, without any problems.Please also provide the pulseaudio -vvv logs.
From what I see - the transition from kodi to PA goes fully wrong.
Btw. the difference I see is very clear, on Ubuntu I get:
Quote:fritsch@t440s:~$ pactl list sinks |grep -i fragment
device.buffering.fragment_size = "32768"
device.buffering.fragment_size = "32768"
fritsch@t440s:~$ pactl list sinks |grep -i buffer_size
device.buffering.buffer_size = "65536"
device.buffering.buffer_size = "65536"
This is 10 times more than you have with default config. Any idea, why? Is this some "low latency" mode?
Edit: Can you both try without kde, please?
E.g. just start Xserver and pulseaudio and then see what you get with kodi?
Edit2: Here is my pulseaudio --dump-conf

Can you compare with yours?
Edit2: Forget about the buffer stuff. I added tsched=0 on my setup and now I get _your_ numbers, but kodi is still working.
