[paranoia] Ripped wav is choppy

This is most likely a playback problem.  Not certainly, mind you, I'm just
going by statistics.  First, make sure the machine in question can play back
other *CD quality* wav files, meaning 44.1kHz/16bit/little endian/stereo.  Or,
try the wav on a different machine known to work.  If this is impossible or
exceedingly difficult, but a small WAV that illustrates the problem somewhere I
can get to it.  You can try mailing it, but large files can disappear during
mail transport.

That's an exceedingly old version.  Please get the most recent snapshot (9.6).
