Looks like you have a sound card for which the chip and/or driver only
supports a fixed sample rate. Probably that fixed sample rate is 48000
Hz and you want to play something with 44100 Hz. Look for this:

48000/44100 = 1.08843537414965986394
  210/191   = 1.09947643979057591623

(210 is 3'30'' in seconds, 191 is 3'11'')

Kind regards,

Hannah.

PS: Who has the same problem, alas. Damn super-cheap sound chips
included on mainboards (auich in my case).
