Bug Description

Hard to describe the sound I'm getting playing music currently.

I have tried various filetypes from mp3 to flac.

I am using Xubuntu 16.04 (obviously dev version) with both the standard repo version of Clementine and the version available via the clementine-dev ppa.

Any other player I try works fine. (Audibly at least)

Screencast of what I'm getting at https://sendvid.com/sa7b0i4n

ve tried a clean install of xubuntu, followed by updates/upgrades xubuntu needed,then a clean install of clementine,.

Still the same.

So - install the 16.04, update it - install Clementine (either repo or ppa)

Hit this.

I did try looking back to see what else had upgraded when I first caught this (week or so ago) but given I run dev xubuntu, I was seeing gcc/python/qt/gstreamer all hitting about the same time.

No problems with other Ubuntu releases, and also only affects pulseaudio playback (not alsa)...

I've tried the latest development version of Clementine with no luck tho...

Here all file types in clementine plays back poorly by default.
However if I switch the sample rate to match the file then playback is fine. (default for sample rate is Auto, typical here for most files is 44.1 KHz
So apparently auto is not working properly

I had issues with Auto when changing to alsa from pulseaudio.

Actually what seems to be the issue here isn't the sample rate setting, more the Output. Both sink=autoaudiosink & sink=pulsesink produce garbage.
However sink=alsasink works fine ( in my case as long as with device=@Invalid()

Was somewhat thrown because Pref's > Audio output > Output device always returns to "Choose automatically" even when setting to alsa(sink

So the issue seems to be with clem & pulse
