Bug#267621: libarts1: white noise and crashes on ppc

[Lee Braiden <jel@tundra.ath.cx>]

Package: libarts1
Version: 1.3.0-1
Severity: important


Hi,

On PowerPC, arts output (KDE system event sounds) start off with what sounds
like whitenoise.  Towards the end of the sample, the intended sound becomes
more audible through the noise, but it never clears up.

Also... I'm guessing this is related, but perhaps not: artsd crashes very
frequently, giving a KDE crash dialog.  The backtrace gives no useful
information, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the bad audio.
