Yes, I know. I just wasn't too sure whether Mandriva did something weird
to win32 codecs (since I have no problem playing the file), so I think
you might want to try the pristine version.

They did something more. Like I said I can play the file with the stock
win32 codecs. I don't need to install any codecs from Realplayer Gold.

I suggest just turn off pulseaudio. Did you follow this link:

posted by Krzysztof Duchnowski? According to one of the post, this is
how to turn it off in Mandriva:
