When I cat an .au file to /dev/dsp I get horribly distorted sound - all
crackly and accompanied by a high-pitched squeal, but it is making
the right sound underneath all the crackling.
madplay --output raw:/dev/dsp file.mp3
makes the high-pitched squeal and gives the odd crackle - but then I
am using an 25MHz ARM6, so it won't be able to keep up (bout 3 times
too slow when decoding to a file, 10 times when playing to dsp).
esd when starting up almost makes the right noises, just *way* too
slowly - and at 22.05KHz, 8 bit.
But is my Risc PC too slow to play .au files? I have 16bit sound
upgrade and it sounds fine in RISC OS.
