When starting YaST, sound played by amaroK starts "vibrating"

When I listen to music and want to start YaST, the sound starts being very strange, like if it was "vibrating". By switching the song, the next song in the playlist isn't affected, i.e. it sounds as it should. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122481
I kind of doubt that. Can you reproduce it 100%? What does your hardware look like?
Yes, I've tried it many times and I could always reproduce it. I don't really know what kind of hardware you focus on, but I'll try: Soundcard driver: snd-intel8x0 CPU: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Does it happen only with yast? Which yast module did you start? Does it happen also if you start yast as a normal user?
No, I've never come across it with other applications. Normally, I started yast's control center, but I've just realized it also happens when I start the update module via SuSE-Watcher. I noticed it by starting yast as a normal user (with the "run as root"-window), when I'm logged in as root, the problem doesn't occur.
I meant to start yast2 without root privilege. For example, start yast2 from konsole as a normal user.
Yes, I meant the same. By starting yast2 without root privilege, the problem occurs. Otherwise, it doesn't.
I don't understand exactly what you mean "vibrating". Could you explain a bit more? Is the patch shifting or clicking noises or what? Also, try another player (e.g. xmms, or ogg123 foo.ogg) instead of amarok, and start yast2 again as a normal user. Is a similar behavior found?
Created attachment 72649 [details] how amaroK sounds when starting YasT (.wav file)
To be honest, I didn't have a clue how to describe it. I've added an attachment (sorry for the bad quality, but I had to record it by holding the microphone before the speakers - its after 3 sec when it starts to "vibrate"...). With xmms, everything is okay!
I'm afraid no-one of us can reproduce this, so we have no way to fix this ;(
