Bug#486220: vlc: All sounds have weird distosion.

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.c-6+lenny5
Severity: important

Hi,

This is the first time I'm trying vlc, so I have no idea if older
versions have this problem too.

Everything I try to play with it sounds just horrible.  It sounds like
it stops and start playing the music a few times per second or
something.  But I have a feeling this only affects certain frequency
ranges.

I have this problem with all sources of music I've tried like ogg, mp3,
cdda, wav.

I don't have this problem with any other music player I've ever tried
like madplay, mplayer, rhythmbox, ogg123, ...

This is on an (old) amd64 system if that's relevant.
