this worked! that's awesome. then i tried a bunch of other plugins and they now
work too. I don't have any clue whatsoever what was going wrong, but something
*was* going wrong, and now it's great! boy i'm pleased. now this line works with
alsasink too :-) (I got occasional popping on both osssink and alsasink, must be
the plugin). Unfortunately, you still have to have to float2int (at least for my
card) -- the alsa plug layer doesn't do the conversion for you. oh well.

best regards, and I really am happy -- things are coming together!
