It appears that above two points are related. If I pad spaces at the
window manager level the audio quality suffers! If I concede some screen
space and reduce the amount of padding the sound quality is better again.

Is there some way at xorg server level to "crop" the display size?

I am using native xorg and I am on -current 10.99.2.

(xrandr based new mode creation or rotation etc aren't working, as shared
before)
