ALSA Programming fun... *grumble*

[AcidTripp]

I'm trying to write a program that uses ALSA to play it's sound (who'd have thunk it with a title like that?). I can get the "correct" sound to come out of the speakers, but it is full of extra noise (almost static), and the latency is HORRIBLE (about a .25 second delay).

Also, when I close the program after playing sound, it SegFaults.

Anybody here know enough about ALSA (or any other topic remotely relevant) to give me suggestions on what the problem might be?

Thanks
