The Solution: Kill Gnome (Alt-SysRq-K) and play ogg file from terminal.

The Problem: An ogg file played with Audacity or with ogg123 sounded 
terrible.

System is Jessie with standard debian packages installed

The ogg file was created from a cd with jack and was intended for an 
sdcard for my car's entertainment system. I first played it from my 
computer with Alsa line out to a fairly decent stereo system. The 
playback was noisy, sounded like it was made from a worn out lp.

The cd played from my home entertainment system sounded fine. The ogg 
file played from my car's entertainment system was ok.

What was wrong with my computer?

When a click from the stereo connected to the computer signaled the 
arrival of an email I realized a computer sound system was running all 
the time. What ever it is stopped when I killed Gnome.

Perhaps this is old hat, known to all. If so, there may be better 
solutions than killing Gnome. If so, I would like to know these 
solutions or be pointed appropriate discussions of the subject.
