For me the distortion of the background synthesizer chordy bit (I know what
I'm talking about, really I do :-) seems to overload it at about the :50, the
2:20 and 4:00 minute marks, after which sound cuts out altogeather. Then
about the 1:50 and 3:20 marks sound cuts back in again.
But briefly, three times, it sounded pretty good :-)
Its a mystery to me.
Can alsa and aRTS play nicely togeather, or does one replace the other (not
sure I want to go that far. The Eurythmics aren't __that__ good).
Thanks
Doug
