Thanks for clarifying that. I think that another app
(mplayer) from my web browsing may have changed the
rate, or somehow caused it to get stuck.

This is not the first time I've had this problem of
rate-stuck-at-wrong value.  I know it is cured by a reboot,
but that is something I prefer not to do if I've got 28
browser tabs and 12 Screen sessions open, if you know what I
mean.
