! I specifically mentioned that mpg123 works fine on this machine..  My

Linc, bud, how you doing? :-) Didya get ahold of Brian for me? I think what
they're asking (and what makes sense as far as troubleshooting a problem) is
can you try using an 8k/mono (or other slower rate) option in Sidplay, like
the FAQ mentions for mpg123. If it does work at a slower rate, that says
something about what the problem is. See my point? :-)
