I've just recently updated to Suse 8.0 Clean Install alsa-0.9.0_cvs20020320-12. SBLive and RME9652 So far everything I've tried to record, I think, is being recorded faster than being stated (16 bits 44100) or at least it is playing back at an accelerated speed or differnt rate. Not "chipmunk" like but "Hey! Ease up on the coffee" like. Old recording and downloaded waves are played fine so I believe this to be a recording issue. Ever heard/seen the likes before? Any ideas why? Or how to adjust it. Audacity seems to work greater than great (never really had it working prior to this) and I'm really liking it. but when all you want is a quick audio reminder or such arecord is nice.
