Summary: low level noise when using high quality headphones

Initial Comment:
Using high grade headphones (Sennheiser 280 Pro), I get
a low level buzzing/hissing noise when using Amarok. My
output is through ALSA. The noise is present even when
no music is playing. The noise intensifies when mousing
over hypertext links and active control spots both in
Amarok and other applications. This noise wasn't
noticeable using cheap headphones, but is very
distracting using the Sennheisers. However, the noise
doesn't come from a defect in the headphones, as they
work fine in OSX using iTunes. Also there's no noise
using xmms on my Linux box with these headphones. This
noise is very distracting and continuous. This bug was
posted for Amarok and I recieved the answer: "amarok
does not do any audio processing by itself. it's all
handled by the backends (xine, helix)." Therefore, I'm
reposting the bug to Xine.
