Please describe the problem:
I use a Mac Mini core duo as my Linux system. It runs openSUSE 11,1. Since I
upgraded to this release I noticed distortion in the left channel. It sounded
like a cable problem at first. Then I noticed that only Amarok produced
distorted sound and that playing the same stream with VLC did not produce the
distortion.

Finally I found that I can get rid of the distortion by switching to alsasink

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play an MP3 stream with Amarok;
2. Play an MP3 stream with yauap
3. Play an MP3 stream with gst-launch souphttpsrc
location=http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w21a ! flump3dec !
audioconvert  ! audioresample ! pulsesink


Actual results:
Clicking sounds in left channel

Expected results:
Undistorted sound in both channels

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
gst-launch souphttpsrc
location=http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w21a ! flump3dec !
audioconvert  ! audioresample ! alsasink

plays the stream without this distortion.

I found this out while listening to the new years concert from Vienna!
