Faulty playback on Ipod Nano 4Gb 1st Gen

It seems this version works!

The problem isn't due to a change in the playback code. It's currently believed to be a timing issue brought to light by finally using the iPod at its rated speed rather than slower.
The build linked by TVG simply undoes the increase in speed, but some people have reported these problems even on Nanos running at the slower speed. It appears to be some sort of hardware difference.
As I've said many times, this problem isn't going to be fixed until someone works out what exactly is being done wrong, but people seem to enjoy making a lot of speculation (see all the speculation about overheating, for example, where they still haven't proved precisely that it overheats, just that current code runs less stable 'hot' which is not the same thing as nobody's actually checked the temperatures it's at with old and current code, but seems to be to them).

Yes, it works! ;D I've been using it for a few days and Rockbox is just like it used to be!
Is it advanced to modify new builds the way the above was? Can one just apply a simple patch or do you need to be versed in compiling and such to do it?
yapper:
A patch is a change to the source code, and you then compile the modified source.
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToCompiling is the newbie's guide.
At first it may look daunting, but it's quite easy if you read and follow the instructions.

Ok, thanks for pointing me to the info!
*sigh* I hope the problem will be solved / the Mhz change rolled back in the main builds soon. :-P
