>Description:
Hardware:
Compaq Evo N600c, ESS Allegro-1 sound (snd_maestro3 driver)
After there is some sound with 22050 freqency rate have been played via one of pchans while the other pchan is playing another sound with 44100 frequency rate, the latter pchan's sound becomes corrupted (pitched down).
>How-To-Repeat:
play some mp3 sound with XMMS, then use play utility to play some 22050 wav file (I used one from licq distribution: /usr/local/share/licq/sounds/icq/*.wav).
>Fix:
An ugly hack, but as for me, it let me to fix the problem.
