No, sorry. I wasn't clear enough. The files are fine. I can play them on
other systems, or with other sound cards, and I don't get any problem.
The only time the noise problem shows up is with my high end $500 sound
card, and only when using Alsa OSS emulation. It's perfectly fine on
Alsa audio.

For instance, I can play wave/jazz_seq1.wav using alsaplayer and I get
no noise, but xmms playing the same file through OSS has trouble.

The thing I was after tonight was that the examplesustain.ogg file is
the first one I've found that plays in multiple OSS apps and doesn't
make the noise. I wanted to try and understand why it doesn't make the
sound.

Sorry for not being more clear.

Thanks for your help.
