This is a typical symptom of playing back a file format that Rev doesn't 
support. You can't use any kind of compressed file format. Try 
re-recording using an uncompressed format, preferably saving as .au for 
Linux playback if possible.

I'm not sure, even so, whether Rev will wait for the whole file to 
arrive before playing it. I suspect it will.
