Ah, ok. I noticed the quitting issue as well.

After finding out 'fm' does not work (fully) I've been solely using
gnomeradio.

Yeah, those are not the cracks I was talking about. Sorry for the confusion.

The cracks I hear with gnomeradio (caused most likely weak signal) are
_much_ shorter and frequent.

It does work with gnomeradio, but as said there's the crackling sound (I
think we can conclude it's a signal issue and forget about it unless
something suggests otherwise) and the arecord|aplay issue going out of sync
issue.

They might be related to the arecord|aplay out of sync issue.

I think I did unload and reload once, and the issue reappeared, but I can
retry.
