With some of the talk changing some of sound driver code, is anyone
working on esound for the PPC. It seems some progress has been made
with 0.2.12, which manages to play some wav files on my machine
(G3/266 DT), but plays garbage for others. Has anyone else seen this
problem, or have gotten esound working properly?

Could you check if there is a correlation between the bit depth of the
sound file and the playing-of-garbage-noises? This problem sounds like an
audiofile bug.

It appears you're right. All the sounds that have trouble playing are 16bit
44kHz wavs. The weird thing is that if I start esd and use esdplay, all the
sounds play properly. However the 16bit sounds don't appear to be going
through esd because I don't get my prompt back until the sound is done
playing, while the 8bit sounds are played asynchronously.

Also, if people would please try out GNOME 1.0.50 this weekend and find
any PPC-specific problems ASAP, it'd be much appreciated.
