[vorbis] Corrupt Files

[Amy Schoenhofen]

You'de think if the HD was bad enough to be corrupting Oggs right and
left while *reading them to play, you'd think he would be seeing a lot
of bad data *everywhere, in everything. The system should be crashing
every 5 minutes from corrupted swap file, etc. etc, and it wouldn't come
back on a reboot.

I would look closely at the Ogg tools - something interacting with
something else, a bad build, who knows.

<p>The very best tool you could use for checking the integrity of you're
disk, in my opinion, is TuffTest Pro.  It's not free, but it is only ˆ20
or so, er in American $.  It's it's own ASM32 operating system and VERY
good at diagnosing hardware of many kinds, I bought my copy about 3
years ago and would do so again =)

That can tell you if you have bad head tracking in the disk, or
unreliable data retention, or even a poped cell in you're ram!  So give
it a go perhaps.

Oh, make sure you're scsi adapter is supported ofc!

James
