I've had my 11.1 sound go very weird.  I believe it to be related to
pulse audio.

If you follow the link from the bugzilla to:
https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-February/003150.html

You see a post from yesterday that says the issue is that the OpenSuse kernel:

==
Apparently OpenSUSE ships a kernel (2.6.27.7-9-pae) that causes
scheduling latencies of > 210ms. That is a lot. That is really really
really a lot.

The post offers no solution, but simply explains why pulseaudio is not
working reliably given a 210 ms scheduling latency.

Thus, the question seems to be is the SuSE kernel going to be tuned to
work with pulseaudio's latency requirements, or does it need to be
disabled by default.
