I did watch today and found that it happens only when I try to play .ogg files
Mine is an amd64 system.
if I play .ogg files in mplayer, it keeps on playing but I donot hear any voice.
it also complains about little endian and big endian ass you can see below.

that would require a recompile of the kernel right?
I tried to convert the file into .wav but it player very fast.
Same is the case with that file when played with "xmms". it plays very fast
But the OpenBSD 4.0 .ogg format release song is played well by both players
And there were no messages in the /var/log/messages file.

Seems the bsdtalk .ogg file uses channel1 and the OpenBSD .ogg file
uses chanel 2.
how do you make the BSDtalk .ogg file use channel2 ?
Thankyou so much for your valuable time and help :-)
Kind regards
