most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try ALSA 0.9 OSS
emulation with <option>-ao oss</option>, also try <option>-ao sdl</option>,
sometimes it helps. If your file plays fine with <option>-nosound</option>, then you can be sure
it's sound card (driver) problem.

First note: options <option>-fs -vm</option> and <option>-zoom</option> are just
recommendations, not (yet) supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it
doesn't work. Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from
x11 or dga.
