That's odd. I have the same soundchip (AWACS) and I do not encounter
these problems. I had my odd problems with soundsoftware, mainly
because of the different endianess of software.
btw, 'sox' (or play) does not work on my machine? endianess I suppose.
I use other software (like wavplay).

Same here.

Maybe you should upgrade your kernel? I don't know about 2.1.24,
but 2.1.125 I use on my 7600 works okay.
I'd still say, try wavplay. It shouldn't need motif or lesstiff
(comment it out).

Comments anyone?
