Popping noise on OPL3 mp3s/wavs

Popping noise on OPL3 mp3s/wavs

[Hines, Jim]

I recently registered the OSS stuff. Very nice. However it did not clear up a
problem I was having before getting OSS. Whenever I play any mp3 or wav files,
I always experience a popping or crackling sound at the very moment I click the
play button.  This is becoming annoying as you might imagine. Here is my
sndstat output:

Does anyone have any ideas about this? Please help!
