Comment 3 for bug 1010457

This issue makes playback almost useless, rendering the application significantly impaired and adversely affecting the user experience to the point of them disregarding the application. This is a fantastic application with educational benefit and should be used to showcase Ubuntu, e.g. to schools and colleges as well as armature and professional composers and musicians. It is a shame that it is currently not configured to shine at its best.
Is there anything that can be done (by us the community) to rectify this?
