You're right, thank you. The rest is mostly for the archives: mpg123 reports 44.1kHz media and the azalia0 sound card reports play.rate=48000. (I have hundreds of gigs of MP3s at 44.1kHz, so I'm not about to start over from that end. :-) Changing play.rate to 44100 doesn't work, and the archives show it won't with an azalia sound card. Madplay does work correctly, though. And I can use madplay as an input engine for XMMS through audio/xmms-madplay. It looks like audacious is a better choice, however, as xmms is slowly dying. And the end result is: audacious plays everything fine. The volume control doesn't seem to work, but I have a physical volume dial. Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
