Just in case someone searches the kde-multimedia archive for 'maestro'

Above problem occured with latest 0.14 OSS Maestro driver
http://www.zabbo.net/maestro/  that I installed yesterday via
rmmod/insmod.   artsplay and artsdsp mpg123  played stuff faster
compared with wavp and mpg123.   I've put a
if (speed != _samplingRate) { cerr ... } in audiosubsys.cc open()
but it was not triggered.   When I tried to go back to 0.13
via rmmod/insmod  I had to had to switch off/on the power of the laptop :(

After the reboot, now with 0.13,  the two problems are no longer
present.  If the reason is the reboot or the 0.13 driver version
is a lesson left for another person having a problem with the
Maestro 2 driver and arts :)  I'm happy with 0.13.

Hope was not too much off topic,
Achim
