Ok, theorizing time. (ie., I have absolute no idea whether this is |
| 7 |
right or not) |

It sounds like this may be related to the sampling frequency of the |
| 10 |
generated PCM. If some application (like arts) is using /dev/dsp and |
| 11 |
programming a specific rate (like 44100Hz), then when another |
| 12 |
application (like mplayer) wants to generate PCM, it must program a |
| 13 |
different rate (the wav file in your original message uses a 8000Hz |
| 14 |
rate). But the card cannot be changed to the 8kHz rate because the |
| 15 |
original application is still "using" the OSS device. |

If you play through arts, it handles the rate conversions for you, so |
| 18 |
everything works. |

You can test this by trying "mplayer -srate 44100 -ao arts file.wav". |
| 21 |
You can try different rates, or carefully examine the output of |
| 22 |
mplayer with an mp3 to see what rate it is using there. |

One last question: do you have a ~/.asoundrc file, and if so, what is in it? |
