sound crackling and popping during downloads

Filezilla v 3.1.3.1

When playing music, e.g., a FLAC file under Winamp, there is a terrible crackling and popping whenever I start downloading a file in Filezilla version 3.1.3.1. This error is reproduceable, my sound card is a M-Audio Audiophile 2496. My system has never had such audio issues before.

I think it is good to have fast ftp-downloading, but sound quality should always have the highest priority. Maybe you need to code some yield() invocations in some low level functions or to lower the priority of network access.

Kind regards,

FileZilla uses the default process and thread priorities. You need to increase the priority of your media player instead.
