When I use the ALSA driver on a Kontron Revolution Series 3000 laptop, I
have the following pitch problems:

1.  Sounds recorded on my Panasonic laptop sound too high in pitch when
played on the Kontron laptop.

2.  Sounds recorded on the Kontron laptop sound too low when played on the
Panasonic laptop.

3.  If I run "arecord -t wav -d 30 kontron.wav" on the Kontron laptop, it
only records for 25 seconds then it exits.  If I then run "aplay
kontron.wav" on the Kontron, it plays for 25 seconds and sounds OK.  If I
run "alsaplayer kontron.wav" on the Kontron laptop, it plays for 28 seconds
and sounds too low in pitch.  (Note:  Other timed commands, like sleep, work
properly on the Kontron.)

4.  If I run "arecord -t wav -d 30 panasonic.wav" on the Panasonic laptop,
it records for 30 seconds.  If I then run either "aplay panasonic.wav" or
"alsaplayer panasonic.wav" on the Panasonic, it plays for 30 seconds and
sounds OK.

5. If I transfer panasonic.wav to the Kontron laptop, then run "aplay
panasonic.wav", it lasts 25 seconds and sounds too high.  If I run
"alsaplayer panasonic.wav", it lasts 28 seconds and sounds too high.

6. If I transfer kontron.wav to the Panasonic laptop, then run either "aplay
panasonic.wav" or "alsaplayer panasonic.wav", it lasts 30 seconds and sounds
too low.

7.  The Voice Over IP application gnomemeeting (using the ALSA driver) has
the same kind of pitch problem when used between the Kontron and Panasonic
laptops.

According to Alsamixer, the Kontron laptop has the Intel 82801CA-ICH3 sound
card and the Analog Devices AD1881A sound chip.  The Panasonic laptop has
the Intel 82801CA-ICH3 card and the SigmaTel STAC9756/57 chip.  I am running
Redhat Linux 9.0 on all of the laptops.  I am running ALSA version 1.0.0rc2.

The only problem that happens when I build the ALSA driver is that the nodes
in /dev/snd don't get created by the alsa-driver make install.  I have to
run snddevices manually.  But this happens on all of the laptops, not just
the Kontron.

Any ideas?
