The change with sample rate makes me think it may actually have to do with the particular sound samples as well? I understand that SDL is somewhat limited on the sample rate conversions it supports - got particular sounds files that sound scratchy you can send to test with?
also, when you say you get scratches after starting some way into the music - do you mean you get like a pop when first playing the music, or do you mean that you get scratches throughout the music after you start it playing at a point in the sound?
