[linux-audio-dev] 8bit sound wav playing to a 16bit sound card...

[Derrick]

I'm playing the file at the Sample rate that is in the header of the wav 
file.. when I play the file in gnome recorder it reports a Sample Rate of 
11025, My program also reads it as 11025 and sets the  SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED 
accordingly... 

Let me restate.. The sound that does play is so fast that it sounds almost 
like noise. If you didn't know that the sound bite actually was.
