Following a recommendation of Kevin Puetz, I've been playing MP'3 under xmms using the esound plugin (the OSS plugin doesn't work on PowerMac's right now). However I get a very scratchy sound, full of static, as if I was listening to a radio station under a lot of interference.
Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running a pure 2.2.14 (from kernel.org) kernel, patched only for rage128 fb, on a PowerMac 7300. Could this be a problem with dmasound? If so, is there a patch? I was earlier able to play MP3's perfectly with xmms/OSS under LinuxPPC, on the same machine. Thanks, Renaud
