Hi all.
I 've come up against a rather "irritating" issue regarding my sound card
and several sound applications.
I cannot play sound files that have the following format: 11025Hz,
16(LSB), Mono. TO be exact, the only thing that I hear instead of the
recorded content is a repeated sound reminding footsteps whose total
length is equal to the proper length of the wave file.
That happens with the "play" program (play is a front-end for sox). I
tried to play the sample file with xwave, but it "hungs" completely.
I can record at the specific format via "Save Audio As..." of the fxtv
application, but:
When I try to record (from the console) with "rec -r 11025 test.wav", I
notice two things:
1. The size of test.wav refuses to grow at all (It remains at 0 bytes).
2. The "recording" can't be stopped with SIGINT (normal way) but only with
SIGTERM ("impolite" way).
The funny (whatever..) thing is that all the other possible combinations
work in a happily normal way.
Has any of you come up against such a weird problem?

Note that I recently did a "buildworld" and I didn't have the problem with
4.5-STABLE.
Thank you in advance.
[ As soon I get this fixed, I can go on trying to play two mp3's
simultaneously... ]
