In other words, dmix doesn't do any resampling, so if you try to play a file that has the wrong rate you'll get problems. That's the reason for the extra layer with the "plug" plugin -- it does rate conversion. > The only other difference is that I don't have rate 44100.

I'd recommend testing it with the KDE_* files in /usr/share/sounds if you have KDE installed. They have lots of funky sampling rates that aplay seems to choke on. -- >>>-- Nathaniel Gray -- Caltech Computer Science ------> >>>-- Mojave Project -- http://mojave.cs.caltech.edu --> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
