[linux-audio-user] poor audio quality in tX?

[Brian Redfern]

I don't think that's it. Maybe its the audio file type? tX just uses
libogg to playback ogg files and I've actually gotten really great audio
quality with ogg and mp3. Also with wave files, same deal. Sounds more
like a misconfiguration in the buffer in tX.
