Bug Description
Binary package hint: audacity
Ubuntu 11.04, i386
Audacity 1.3.13beta
$ dpkg -s audacity | grep Version
Version: 1.3.13-3ubuntu1
I found that when I open audio OGG file in Audacity and play it, there is some problem. I open files in FAST mode (no copy). My conclusion is that Audacity decodes OGG file in a wrong way.
First, sound sometimes oscillates between left and right channel. It is visible in volume level indicator too, like audio channels are muted for a second. I don't see problem in graphical data, no gap is visible there.
Second, sound is not synchronized with graphical data. I see it at the end of track. Graphic pointer is in the area where is silence but music still plays. I have track with length about 2 minutes and when I play it from the begging, the difference is more than 6 seconds.
When I open FLAC file with the same music, I don't see any of these problems. I created OGG file from FLAC with this command:
oggenc -q 6 FILE.flac
I tested OGG file with command ogginfo (ogginfo FILE.ogg) and it doesn't report any issue.
You can get test files from here:

I tested both files with the same version of audacity on amd64.
Both files sounds equal and I can't reproduce any of your problems. This indicates a driver problem somewhere in the audio stack (portaudio, pulseaudio, alsa).
