I am somewhat confused by your mention of using 0.7 across a network
(that version does not have separate front & backend programs).

Regardless, I had "chipmunk" sound when using a mono sound source with
0.7.  See the mailing list archives & CVS logs for info about the
"mono patch" which was post-0.7.  In my case, I solved it by moving to
the CVS version.  (I was using a WinTV Go and the btaudio on that
card.  Even after fixing the chipmunk problem, the btaudio device on
that card seems to be lousy--the sound was terrible.  I gave up on
btaudio and switched to using the passthrough from the WinTV card to
my sound card.)
