[LAU] strange webcam audio bug, continued

Hello (again) About 3 months ago I wrote about my webcam sound recording at the wrong speed. I've finally made a bit of progress understanding the bug and can now reliably reproduce it. What is strange is that accessing the webcam video makes the problem vanish. That is: 1) Plug in my webcam (a creative Live! Cam, usb id 041e:4068) 2) Record something using e.g. "gnome-sound-recorder". It will be recorded at the wrong speed. 3) Access the video using e.g. "gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! xvimagesink" 4) Record something again. Now it's at the right speed. Does anyone know why this might be? My best guess is that the video sets up the correct timer in some way. And is there anywhere I could (usefully) report this bug?
