Were you able to look into that problem?  Did you find out what caused the
noise?

The problem you've observed is with mpeg1 streams using the libmad plugin,
right?

What compiler did you use to compile xine?  Did you test a debug
build of xine or a fully optimized (i.e. non debug) build?


I've tried to compile xine-cvs using different compilers (gcc 2.95.2,
gcc 3.0.3 and Forte 6.0u2) but was unable to reproduce any white noise
audio problems.


I've tested with the onboard audio of an Ultra60 (audiocs - Crystal
Semiconductor 4231):


% prtconf -D | grep audio
            SUNW,CS4231, instance #0 (driver name: audiocs)

% mixerctl
Device /dev/audioctl:
  Name    = SUNW,CS4231
  Version = h
  Config  = onboard1

Audio mixer for /dev/audioctl is enabled


Do they use the same audio hardware in the blade 1000?  If it's another type
of audio hardware in the blade: maybe it's an issue with audio driver that
is in use?
