madplay-0.15.2b acting crazy on OSX 10.4

Hello,

I have downloaded the latest versions of madplay, libmad and  
libid3tag. I had to rename the wait() routine in the audio_carbon.c  
otherwise I was getting conflicts against the sys/wait.h. After that  
everything built, but madplay is acting absolutely crazy. I gave it  
an aiff file to play and all I get is gibberish. I gave it a simple  
wave file to play and this is what I get:

[ukiel:/MP3/madplay-0.15.2b] wind% madplay simpsn03.wav
MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert  
Leslie et al.
error: frame 0: lost synchronization
0 frames decoded (0:00:00.0), -inf dB peak amplitude, 0 clipped samples

There is no sound at all.
Now this file plays fine in VLC, Itunes and such, no problems.

This is what I get when I feed an Apple aiff file through:

[ukiel:/MP3/madplay-0.15.2b] wind% madplay greidernii_kovsh.aif

......

This continues on and on, after a while sound starts coming out, but  
it's just scrambled garbage.

Has anyone managed to successfully run this thing on OSX 10.4? I have  
a PowerMac G4 dual processor computer, plenty of memory and nothing  
strange and heinous installed besides a bunch of FORTRAN compilers.  
I.e. no other sound libraries or anything like that, so there is  
really nothing for madplay to be fighting with.

TIA,
