Hi

this has cropped up a few times and i've never really
gotten to the bottom of it. it seems to be specific to
certain versions of ALSA and also affects other
applications (VLC for example). i've also read that
32Khz files trigger the problem. 

could you reply with the output from
"cat /proc/asound/version" 
which will tell me your alsa version

also, the sample information would be useful
(of any file that doesn't work)
eg: "file /home/foo/somefile.wav" 


i'm getting the FC-5-i386-DVD.iso via bittorrent
now and i'll try and confirm the problem here after installing
FC5 then see if an alsa upgrade does fix the problem.
 
Cheers,
pete.
