Data linux xmms sound problems
Dear all,

I have been using suse linux for as long as I can remember. However, for every installation I get the same problem.

Once the installation is completed, and all of my devices (brand new hardware, from reknown brands) are detected, I decide to start doing some work, and play some music.

However, I use XMMS, and for mosrt things it's quite good.
However very frequently, and with no appararent reason, the sound will change, and the song will end up having a higher pitch, and have a slightly faster tempo.

This could be quite nice for experimenting with sounds, but when you are relaxing to your favorite tune, and all of the suddent, the singer sounds like a 5 year-old, or like a very bad vinyl version, it gets quite frustrating.


I do not have much technical info to give, so please tell me what file I need to read, or provide to help you.

I looked at the .preferences files in my ~/.xmms/ dir, and even forced it not to change (chmod 444),but no can do.

Please help


thanks
