Thanks for the info. #102927 reports that the vorbis+ESD was fixed 
for big-endian, however I am still having hissing problems. Same thing
with vorbis+OSS.

My kernel is 2.4.9-benh0 (+xfs patches).
Versions of libvorbis and xmms are the newest in sid:

ii  libogg-dev     1.0rc2-1       Ogg Bitstream Library Development
ii  libogg0        1.0rc2-1       Ogg Bitstream Library
ii  libvorbis-dev  1.0rc2-1       Development library for OGG Vorbis
ii  libvorbis0     1.0rc2-1       The OGG Vorbis lossy audio compression codec
ii  vorbis-tools   1.0rc2-1       Several Ogg Vorbis Tools
ii  xmms           1.2.5-2        Versatile X audio player that looks like Win
ii  xmms-dev       1.2.5-2        XMMS development static library and header f

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, exporting my mp3 directory
via NFS to my Athlon machine is not exactly a great solution. :-)
