Launch a game and activate audio stretching.

I'd describe that recording more as that there's quiet, yet audible pops in the audio. Would probably get annoying fast.

I'd assign this to Merry, but, she's not on the issue tracker.

Have you tried all the different audio backends to see if it happens in all of them?

It happens all the time in all games.

I'm able to duplicate this in Xenoblade on Linux w/ the Pulse backend. Seems to primarily impact the music, I couldn't tell any difference in voices and effects. Disabling Audio Stretching fixes it for me as well.
