Bug Description
Binary package hint: alsa-base
When playing some aac files (.m4a extension) in Lucid Lynx the sound is corrupted so that every split second there is a high pitched screeching noise and skipping. These files play perfectly in Karmic, Arch with all packages updated, and Windows. The files also play fine when played with XBMC and Aqualung, but exhibit the described problem when played with Rhythmbox, Totem, VLC and Audacious. I don't know what package exactly this bug affects so I'm going to tag it to alsa as it's a sound problem. I am attaching a clip from one of the offending files here http://

If other audio media types playback fine, this really isn't an alsa
issue. Please triage it against the appropriate audio player you're
using.
