    Hi, I'm trying to use ohphone, but am having a low-level problem with
    sound-in; it sounds choppy; it sounds as though a mono signal encoded
    in stereo with a silent channel is being misinterpreted as a single
    mono stream. For example, if the sound was abcd it plays back
    a0b0c0d0 (where 0 is silence). I can reproduce the same choppyness by
    running:

      wavrec test.wav

    (installed from the ports). But in this case, I can fix it by doing

      wavrec -S test.wav

    where -S "set[s] stereo mode." I get the same thing within xwave by
    changing between mono and stereo record modes.

    Furthermore, I if I do

      cat /dev/audio > test.raw
      cat test.raw > /dev/audio

    I get a similar (but somewhat more severe) choppiness.

    Any ideas? I'm using 4.7-RELEASE and

      (carl@xi:~) cat /dev/sndstat
      FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
      Installed devices:
      pcm0: <Intel 82801CA (ICH3)> at io 0xd800, 0xdc80 irq 11 bufsz 16384 (1p/2r/0v channels duplex)

    Thanks.
