I was having this problem under 7.10, but my sound card was not recognized at all. I installed linux-backports-modules and my sound card worked and my video played normal speed.

i've now changed it to only apply those parameters to iec958 if that is the device string. so if you use some custom device string it won't apply them. thou then you have to make sure it's a proper device string :/

It would be nice to have an option to tell XBMC not to mess with the audio device string you enter, either in the UI or as an env variable.
FWIW, when I was troubleshooting my setup, I tried mplayer and some other of the big Linux media players and they all worked fine with my setup. I dunno if they just have good code for picking a reasonable default or if they pull the information out of the gnome sound applet settings or what, but it might be worth looking at them to see what they do and ape it in XBMC.
Random aside: Hey, look, it's Gateway! Get JackRippr, DrDel, oldman and a few others in here and we can have a #Amiga! reunion.

This happening in XBMC exclusively or no sound in Ubuntu in general? Can't really expect help here until your hardware is setup properly in Ubuntu.
