            Swtiched audacious to 24bit.  It very quietly plays a badly distorted version

        What about aplay with 32bit samples?

    Seems to work fine.  Also 24bit.  Guess it's audacious' fault.  Probably.

It's possible that audacious tries to access 24bit, not 32bit format, 
and ctxfi driver has a bug around that.

Could you try the patch below?

[snip]
aplay still works in 24 and 32bit, audacious freezes (but you can still switch
back to 16bit and it will play without having to kill and restart it)
What does that mean? :)
Hrm, I don't know what it's doing exactly...
Or, removing S24_3LE there might help?
I don't know exactly that audacious is doing.  Anyway, it's no
critical bug as a showstopper :)
thanks,
