2. base_rate value
	rate: 96000 (96000/1)

3. system details

	Gentoo Linux
	Portage 2.1.4.5 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2,
glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.27.3-unpatched x86_64)
	=================================================================
	System uname: 2.6.27.3-unpatched x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
	Timestamp of tree: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:18:01 +0000
	distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port
3632) [disabled]


A)	MPlayer dev-SVN-r27725-4.1.2
B)	Working, but horrible, crackeling sound at samplingrate 11025Hz
22050Hz 44056 44100 47250 5000(less than the others) 50400 8000 88200
(3200, 48000 and 96000 are fine)
	checked with WindowsXP. In XP the sound is nice and clear. So the
files are good.
C)	OSS (see bug-mplayer file)
D)	See bug-mplayer file
E)	nothing

A)	Xine 0.99.5
B)	No samplingrate is clear, all is crackeling....
C) 	ALSA I guess (bug-mplayer file)
D)	See bug-xine file
E)	nothing


So one wired thing:
I first tested mplayer... all samplingrates except 3200, 48000 and
96000 were bad.
Then I tested xine... everything was bad.
Then I tested mplayer again to dump the info into the files (bug-mplayer)
suddenly all samplerates were fine.... testing again and all went bad again?
But basically you can say everything is crapy right now.

Kind regards
