Hi,
When I use mplayer I noticed that since OpenBSD 4.5 that the audio clangs
unless I use aucat -l then it sounds alright. The drawback of this is that
mplayer thinks the audio driver is too slow and it seriously messes up
watching video. Anyone know what settings I should use in mplayer to
listen with it writing directly to /dev/audio, without this robotic clang
voice that I get? Here my audioctl -a output:
setebos$ audioctl -a

and finally dmesg:

PS: I didn't say anything at first with the hope that perhaps someone else has
the same problem. OpenBSD 4.4 sounds alright, so its the new sound code.
