Couldn't find info about this anywhere, but I have this really annoying problem, whereby in games, be they ETQW (full version) or games included in the stock Fedora distrib, have very bad sound quality. Lots of crackling. The CPU usage of pulseaudio shoots up to 20% (that's on a dual core Pentium D). I can get normal perf. with ETQW by using pasuspend and forcing output to hw:0, but there's got to be a better solution.
