Description:
After having some issues with XBMC not performing some tasks like Volume Amplification, and occasional jittering, I posted a query on XBMC.org forums. One of the developers responded to say that currently PulseAudio support for XBMC is poor and that Arch shouldn't compile with "--enable-pulse" and instead should be using the SoftAE audio engine.

Here is the forum post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=169439&pid=1481891#pid1481891

I think it is dup of  FS#36462 .

Did you try "AE_ENGINE=SOFT xbmc"?

Ah, yes it could be a duplicate/similar issue.
I searched but din't come across it.

"AE_ENGINE=SOFT xbmc" actually works great, but that shouldn't be needed as the XBMC dev notes.
It is admitted that XBMC implementation of PulseAudio is not mature yet and they are focusing on their own audio engine first.
