It happens with all the MP3 files I've tried - both ones I've
generated using lame and ones I've downloaded.
Having listened to a few more, it seems that the 'twittering' noise is
actually a delayed echo of the original sound, grossly distorted.
By the way, I should have mentioned that au, wav and ogg work fine.
I've tried playing MP3's again, but I don't seem to be able
to reproduce this noise you hear.

I've now found that the problem seems to depend on the machine
architecture. On an old 32-bit machine, it does not occur. On a newer
64-bit machine, it still does occur. Tests on both architectures used
Cynthiune built from the same source (latest SVN) and same RPM spec
file. au, wav, ogg and flac versions of the same test file work on
both architectures.
The test file (attached) plays OK in madplay.
Also attached are the /proc/cpuinfo from both machines.
