Your reply IS helpful. Now I know that someone else
had the
issue. While away from email for a bit, I wondered if maybe
the temperature of my system was high enough to cause a clock
rate to lower. I can imagine that a badly designed system might
even allow a lower CPU speed to alter the audio clock rate too.
Your comment about the sound speed/pitch changing under high
load would be consistent with this theory, in that high load can
increase the system's internal temperature.
I don't know if temperature can cause a clock rate to lower, but that
explanation would certainly make sense. My old machine was (at that
time) five years old laptop which sometimes had problems with heating (I
was cleaning it from dust pretty often, but fan was almost always on).
