OK, I have re-installed VLC, it has slightly different issues from
gmusicbrowser. It plays at what appears to be normal speed but the
sound is intermittent, i.e. play is choppy with several 'chops' per
second.
There is nothing exceptional when running from the command line:-
chris@acer-aspire:~$ vlc
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
[0979ea28] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc'
to use vlc without interface.
... and that's it, no errors whether playing .mp3 or .flac files.
Both mp3 and flac are 'chopped' in the same way.
