[xine-user] Xine 0.9.8 sound problem

[<arr...@ra...>]

I finally got an Alsa developer to figure out what was wrong with my sound
card's driver, so my card now mostly works in Alsa 0.9 (except for mpu401
midi, which isn't relevant here).  Which means that for the first time I can
try Alsa 0.9 with Xine.

Alas, the hope that I'd avoid the sound problem I got with 0.5 was wrong.  It
still happens.  Loud voices give a split second burst of buzz/static when
they're at their loudest.  The effect is most noticeable on DVDs.  It mostly
goes away if I force the sample rate to 24000 instead of 48000; I have no idea
why.

My system is an Athlon 850, a Matrox G400, and an obscure AD1816a based sound
card.  I'm running Mandrake 8.0.
