Subject: Jittery playback

I've just installed alsa-driver-0_2_0-pre4.tar.gz on my machine--all very 
straightforward. However I just tried out aplay on a few soundfiles to find 
it glitches horribly. This is not good. Is this a buffering issue? Have I 
missed something obvious? Is the version I'm using out of date? I'm using 
an AWE32 with 16bit, 44.1kHz stereo files and there should be no problem 
with this: I'm using a 200MHz machine with a Quantum Fireball drive these 
days. Linux used to manage jitter-free playback on my old 486.

Any thoughts?
