Any fix for this? This also affects me (using saucy x64) when using
multiple many sound applications (lmms, audacity, mixxx...).
Uninstalling bluetooth support for ALSA is not an option because I daily
use sound over bluetooth. Please fix.

Title:
  espeak sound output very slow if bluez-alsa installed

Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  alsa is installed slows down espeak sound output *significantly*...

  With bluetooth disabled...

  $ 

  "A" way (not ideal! ;-) to resolve the problem is to simply remove the
  bluez-alsa package:

  $ sudo apt-get remove blue-alsa

  
  Notes:

  - I have no bluetooth audio devices within range or enabled.
  - I have no ~/.asoundrc so unclear why I'm getting all the alsa cruft.

  Attached is the output of 'sudo hcidump -XYt'.
