Hmm. that could be the reason, thanx.

Found this solution in mythtv-users (or is it alsa list?) sometime ago. 
My spdif device is [0,4], so in modprobe.conf I have this line "options 
snd-pcm-oss adsp_map=4", and I point mythmusic's sound device to 
/dev/adsp. /dev/adsp now becomes the digital out device.

i use /dev/adsp in both xmms and mythmusic.. No ideas yet why 
mythmusic's pitch seems to be higher, guess I'd find out once I figure 
out how to do configure the .asoundrc stuffs (right now I don't have any).


Regards.
