-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Steve, I have had this problem, as well, and I don't even think it's alsa-specific! My fix was just to use another player... Zinf or Mplayer work nicely. There's still some distortion, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than what Mpg321 churns out. Sorry I can't help you with the specific problem, as I'm not sure exactly what it is, but using something like Zinf will at least give you better sound.
