Hi,
Im trying to play mp3's on a new arch using madplay and alsa.
If I pipe the output of madplay into alsa it works fine eg:
madplay -R48000 -o wav:- file.mp3 | aplay -cc
but if I invoke it directly:
madplay - R48000 file.mp3
it sounds horrible, like its clipping and there lots of white/pinknoise mixed in.
I have tried attenuating the output (-a -10) and check alasa-mixer settings that doesn't help.
I also get the same effect when playing audio via mplayer (using libmad) I have no FPU so cant try mpg123 for instance.
Any help or hints welcome.
Cheers
Neil
