Audio playing fast on 6.x (Looking for Ariff Abdullah)

[Nikolas Britton]

Hello, I'm having the same problem that was described on the current
mailling list about a week ago, here's the thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/587de689691ab207

Here's the short version: Audio playback is too fast, it's too fast in
KDE and too fast on the console (splay) but CD playback is perfect.
Based on what I read in the link above the problem had been fixed and
MFC'd, so I updated the system to 6-STABLE, but playback is still too
fast.
