Sound problems

[Antonio M]

I am one of the unlucky guys who have been suffering for a long time
sound breakage and problems only because I have a intel chip for
sound.
Now I have modprobe like this:

alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 skge
alias scsi_hostadapter libata
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0 ac97_clock=44100
#options snd-intel8x0 index=0 ac97_clock=41194
#options snd-intel8x0 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu401
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-mpu401 index=1

After recent updates when I connect to a radio stream with Rhythmbox,
sound is bad and very bass (missing trebles as it would run slower...)
If I run with no ac97_clock option I get some breakages.
Furthermore sometimes Rhythmbox is calling for a missing plugin
(asking for some url/text plugin!!!???)

any idea???
