Thanks for your reply Pete.

Okay. I'll browse through SDL docs to find more info about mixer
module.

That sounds strange to me : it was the first problem I thought to as I
encountered playback problems. Anyway my Mp3 is encoded using a plain
128 Kbit/s fixed rate, enabling HQ option (which should affect only
encoding phase, not playback) on the Fraunhofer encoder. Itplays good
even on my SL45 mobile phone :-)

Great !

Okay. I'll do more tests and report any success.
