This sounds to me like the .au file has multiple word samples and more
than 2 channels, but since your sound card can't handle that then sox
is adjusting for your sound card.

I know nothing about xanim.
What happens if you play an mp3 with xmms?

I don't know. Do you have all DMA channels, io addressed, irqs, etc,
configured right?
