Subject: Allegro: Bad quality sound when using streams

Hi All:

  I was playing a little with DOSAmp, it uses the streaming system of Allegro 
to play MPEG layer 2 and 3 audio files (really cool!).

 All works OK and my player can play list of files and convert MP3s to wav 
under DOS.

 But .... when I tested some songs with silence in the middle I heard a lot of 
noise. First I supposed the noise was from my computer, so I grownded it (I 
normally use a good grown but last time I moved the computer I forgot to 
connect it), the quality improved, but the noises remained. Then I added the 
WAV converting routine and tested generating a WAV and then playing it with my 
sound player (it ISN'T based on Allegro), surprisingly the quality is FAR 
better, so the problem IS in the streaming stuff.

 I tried using reserve_voices(2,0) but it didn't kill the problem. Does anybody 
know where is the problem? I'm using Allegro 3.0 no WIP.
