Hi Takashi,

Sorry for the few days of silence. Attached is the output from your
latest patch with the debug patch.

Just one more thing (in case it may help), the output is not really
muted, there are some very short sounds/plops randomly appearing
between periods of silence when playing a file.

Thanks.
