I had similar problems with xmms for a while. The sound was actually playing painfully slow (3-4x) and distorted - the track times were slow as well. You could just make out the track if you listened carefully. To fix it, I adjusted the settings for the mp3 output plugin to use only 8 bit resolution, mono and 1:4 downsampling. Then my mp3's played okay. This only happened with certain configurations of 2.4.2 - 2.4.5 kernels. I never did work out exactly what caused the problem, but now my 2.4.5 kernel works great, at full resolution. HTH Craig -- Craig Holyoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.uq.net.au/craigh/
