Get a capable soundcard? Anyway the real problem is that dmix seems to
say to MPlayer "hey, I support any sample rate you through at me", but
in reality plays the all with 48kHz. If you play a 32kHz audio with
48kHz you of course get the problem that your soundcard will run out of
data very fast...
General announcement: We are still looking for a maintainer for
ao_alsa.c, the code is despite my best efforts still complete crap.
