are you sure that the problem isn't in the kernel? I tried playing sound on my riscpc (CS4231), and finally found out that the sound driver seems to consume 32bit instead of 16bit per step of data -- doubling up the data made the sound play at the right speed, and sound vaguely useable. I think it was on 2.2.12, and my mail from back then must be in the archives of this list. no solution, sorry. ciao, cm. -- christian mock in vienna, austria -- http://www.tahina.priv.at/~cm/ VIBE!AT http://www.vibe.at/ ** wir sind nicht zum spass hier.
