C-Media Electronic sound driver 

Symptom 

The sound driver for C-Media Electronic CM8338A that comes along RH7.2 is broken. MP3 and some Wav files sound almost 10 times slower that it should. Sounds terrible.

But I found that some of the files can be played normally. What's the different?

Conclusion 

Only 'Microsoft PCM, 8 bit' sounds are ok. and Macintosh MacBinary too.
