Summary	09008: vgmplay [All software list items using QSound]: Attempting to load any QSound soundtrack gives a "Bad rip" error
Description	When loading any Capcom QSound soundtrack (examples include 1944: The Loop Master (1944), 19XX: The War Against Destiny (19xx), Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (dino), Street Fighter EX (sfex), and Street Fighter EX2 Plus (sfex2p)) on the VGM player, an error notice will appear saying "bad rip detected, correcting qsound clock". The resulting music would sound incomplete compared to how they would sound in-game.
Steps To Reproduce	Using 1944: The Loop Master as an example: 1. Load the VGM player (vgmplay), pick the software list item "1944 - The Loop Master (CP System II)" (vgmplay:1944), and select the first track ("01 opening.vgz"). 2. You will see the error notice. Meanwhile, try listening to how it sounds like on the player, then exit, and load the actual game (ROM set: 1944) to see the difference between how it sounds like on the VGM player compared to how it sounds in-game.
Additional Information	A screenshot of the error message is attached below. Audio recordings (of that same example in the reproduction steps) of how it sounds like on the VGM player (the possible bad rip) and how it sounds like on VGMRips (which would closely reflect how it sounds in-game) are also provided. Despite the VGM player's "Imperfect sound" flag, the majority of games that use QSound chips have the sound status as "OK." Only the ZN-based ones have imperfect sound flags, but they may sound better in-game than on the VGM player.

No.22560 Fujix Administrator 13 days ago	If I rip a VGM file with VGMMAME, the 19xx file doesn't have the bad rip error and play back correctly. Is it really a problem of MAME?
No.22561 Fujix Administrator 13 days ago	The QSound clock setting for current software list items (from vgmrips.net) is 0x003d0900 -> 4MHz In the newly ripped vgm, it is 0x03938700 -> 60MHz. MAME is correctly working.
