Vorbis - May 2003 - ogg123/libao needs to factor non support for mono in i810 driver

A playback of a mono vorbis track on a system using the i810 audio
driver via ogg123 results in a double speed playback (chipmunk sound).
It seems that this chipset doesn't support mono and while xmms seems to
compensate for it, ogg123 doesn't

I have a bugzilla report at redhat.com filed on this with more details

The i810 is curiously broken to say the least.  Ir tends not to work 
properly outside 48kHz 16-bit stereo.  Many configs based on this chipset 
just refuse anything except 48kHz.  You could try playing it through esd 
:-)

If the chipset doesn't support mono, woudn'n it be a great idea to
implement
xmms compensation in the driver instead of having it both in xmms and libao 
(and others). A driver that does mono in but sends the card a stereo stream 
of the same sound. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

I might be ignorant about the whole issue, but I fail to see how making 
workarounds in userland can make sense when it's possible to modify the 
driver? Please enlight me =)

Regards Joel
