@emanuele: i have yet to get an mp3 to sound good on my z50 running
netbsd 4.0. madplay works in the sense that one can hear something
identifiable as music, but there are significant hesitations and wow
and flutter sounds. please see the messages to this list a few days
ago, including the advice from elijahr re recent audio changes in
-current

@adam: what kernel are you using?

thanks!
