Hi Jeff,
Somewhere between v1.1.8 and 1.1.10 (I haven't tried 1.1.9), the output quality has degraded noticeably. The first thing I noticed was a horrendous squeal when starting X: ESD/Enlightenment w/sound enabled theme. Possible feedback? May have to try with the mic unplugged. Any- way, this theme uses audible clicks when moving between windows. With versions .10 .12 .14; instead of click click click..., I get more of a click kheh heh heh heck click...... If I have pcm music playing all the time, the themed audio events all seem to work correctly. Acts like it's not playing the buffers completely through otherwise. Also, playing music with these versions indicates a tad more background noise, kinda like tape hiss. Haven't had the time to see what changed in the source.
