HI,
I am setting up a Freevo system on Debian Etch and have been making a
lot of progress, but seem to be having problems getting audio files to
actually play.

I have ripped a few discs to my machine at different speeds and with
different encodings and nothing seems to cause the file to actually
play.

I can browse through my collection, but if I select a file, it brings
up the playing window, then quickly scrolls through each file in that
directory and goes back to the file selection window.

So if I pick the fourth file in the list, the window will quickly show
that it is playing this file, with no audio coming out, then jump to
the fifth, sixth, etc. Then go back to the menu.

The files do exist and are not of zero length. They playback fine in
mplayer or xine if started separately. I have tried setting both in
local_conf.py.

I am using Freevo v.1.7.3 from debian prebuilt packages.

Here is an excerpt from the logs:
