I was experiencing too fast sound before in some wine apps and when
using skype (although new skype's version switched to pulseaudio and
that fixed the issue).  Recently, after a long break, I discovered it
again when using skype on wine. It is quite unusual, though, because
sometimes it works correctly and sometimes not. In the middle of a call
I can experience a sudden change to fast sound. It looks like the bug
can be minimalised or even disappears when using this command to start
an application:

"PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 name_of_your_app"

For example to start audacity I type:

"PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 audacity"

My OS: Ubuntu 14.10
Pulseaudio version: 4.0

Title:
  Some alsa applications play bad sound

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Some applications using ALSA plays bad sound. One is WINE
  applications. Winecfg test sound is distorted (sounds awful). Spotify
  running WINE plays songs way too fast. A flash based program play
  distorted sound. The common thing for all of them is that under
  Applications in Sound settings it says alsa-plugin and it flashes very
  rapidly between "No application is currently playing" and alsa-plugin.
  It almost looks like flickering. I've testet a normal wave file using
  aplay and that was okey, no problems.
