Thank you for following the template and providing a lot of info. Adding sound support is not a high priority for us yet. The app that is actually listening to the fifo that pulse audio is writing is the XSDL server app, which we don't own. Please consider also filing a bug there. I will tell you when we get to looking at sounds support, but it will be some time.

Did the sound recording help, it seems like it is working just like debug code or something is taking cpu cycles, I mean I work on this daily with my desktop and WSL and don't have sound working on that yet. but on this setup it seems to be working just like userland has wait states or something every second slowing not only playback of audio but overall use of this session....I mean it's usable just you can feel things start and such...so I need to bug xdsl? cause that part seems to be working because I have sound....just way slow and way choppy...

If XDSL is merged (https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd/issues/540) into UserLAnd then could we look into this on a whole project level to ensure that no debug wait states are active in production code (I need all the speed I can get because this is my daily driver at home - http://www.tinyurl.com/donofriodexnote8 so you know that I run this project sooooo much....and pulse working without slow skipping/playing would be a godsend....) thank you for all you good folks do....without this project I'd be lost!!! really!!
