Sound plays too fast in Fedora 9

It seems after a system update, ALL sound in Fedora started playing faster... almost like a chipmunk sound... turns out it is a problem with my onboard sound driver(Intel 8xO). Added this to my /etc/modprobe.d/soundcard and everything is back to normal after restart

options snd-intel8x0 ac97_clock=0

This is the card found in my dmesg

ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:2120: AC'97 0 analog subsections not ready
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 50911 usecs
intel8x0: measured clock 216 rejected
intel8x0: clocking to 48000

No need to update alsa-libs, alsa-utils, etc. Just added the one line and audacious (xmms), mplayer and rhythmbox speed all returned to normal speed.
