Bug Description

When making a call in skype the audio will start to buzz. The buzz is independant of audio output (tried through monitor and through analogue outputs). It persists after the program is closed and cannot be stopped . Only appears to happen when starting a video call on skype, may be related to how skype is accessing the audio. The buzzing stops when outputing other audio, such as a music file but continues on after. The buzzing changes in frequency (not pitch but time) periodically.

Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10 64-bit

expected to hear conversation, only heard buzzing
