From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win95; I)

any sound that is played (with mpg123, play..) sounds like it's beeing played like a record that is running slow on a siemens nixdorf scenic

reported, and no system hangups.

How reproducible:

2. use mpg123 or play to produce any sound

Additional info:

Try adding the 'esstype=1888' module command line parameter.

I tried that, but still it doesn't work. :(

I don't know if this is related but on my via686a soundcard on a K7-500MHz
running Roswell, the sound is playing a little fast. It is quite noticable when
playing mpeg movies using plaympeg. The sound becaomes unsynchronized and ends
long before the video.
Playing the same mpegs under previous versions of 7.x seemed to be OK though.

The problem with the ESS chip is a driver detection issue; you can try
esstype=(any of 688,1688,1788,1888) to see if it improves it.
