Buggy sound

Hi!
Glad to see netwinder.org up and alive again, I hadn't bothered
to look in ages.
My trusty NW is still doing firewall duty (since 1999).
But one problem I'm having is with the sound driver. Maybe 50% of the
time it plays white noise instead of clean audio. Here's my test,
# while true; do bplay donk.wav ; sleep 0.5; done
And here's a recording from about 1ft away, and a copy of donk.wav,

I have a little program where I'd like to play donk.wav whenever a
packet is dropped by the firewall, but the white noise is like
fingernails on a chalkboard. :)
I'm running gentoo, with a vanilla 2.6.16 kernel, cross-compiled with
gcc 3.4.5. My board info from /proc/cpuinfo,
Hardware : Rebel-NetWinder
Revision : 51ff
Serial : 0000000000000757
Has anyone experienced sound problems like this?
Thanks,
-Jamie
