First, hope this is the right sound driver version to be testing.  If not,
please let me know so I can switch to the one where the comments will be
the most help.

Check this out!  On guspnp9, if I:

     cat james-earl-jones-CNN.au  > /dev/audio

this 5 second clip flies by in less than one second! :-) The frequency is
shifted way up.  Besides that and the speed, it sounds OK so I guess the
samples rate and/or mono-stereo setting might not be being initialized
right when the driver is accessed from /dev/audio.

BTW, this is on a Sound Blaster 32 (dsp-wise a SB16).
