Thanks for the info -- esp. about the version issue (I'll need to check into that, but the machine is not close to my desk).

I also tried a one-liner test similar to what you showed, and I got results similar to yours -- that is, I was not able to replicate the problem when I tried the simplest possible means to demonstrate it.

Naturally, the overall situation is more complicated -- the script that is writing the log file is actually a Perl/Tk app (so that the phrase to be read aloud is presented in a nice big font), and so far I'm just assuming that the sampling rate of the audio file is "accurate" (supposed to be 16 kHz, though I'm not sure if this is done via downsampling from something like 44.1). Uncertainty abounds...
