I've investigated further to come up with a more precise recipe:
- Start the machine afresh.
- Log in, play some music, everything is fine (only one pulseaudio
process, no crackles.)
- Log out and relog _as fast as possible_ (if possible, enter the
credentials in SLiM in less than 2-3 seconds).
- 4 pulseaudio processes are up. Sound is crackling when not playing
anything. It stops crackling when I play something.
- Log out again and relog (no need to be fast). This time only one
process is up but the sound is still crackling. Killing the process
fixes it.
- On subsequent logouts+logins, the issue does not seem to be
reproducible. I have to reboot.
Another clue:
After a fresh boot, the first time I log out I can see from a TTY that 3
pulseaudio processes are now running.
If I wait some seconds, they all eventually die and I can login without
sound issue.
Subsequent logouts won't spawn those 3 processes.
If however I follow the above receipe and log back in fast enough, an
additional process is spawned (which is normal) but the 3 processes remain.
Puzzling...
