Isn't the real problem that XMMS stutters at all? Why should real-time priority be needed? I never have this problem with other apps, like Amarok, or when playing videos in MPlayer.
I'm listening to some MP3's in XMMS right now. All I have to do to make XMMS stick like a broken record is to go to my Konqueror window that's open to LWN and continuously scroll up and down the page. The scrolling is smooth, the UI is responsive, but XMMS will completely freeze while I'm scrolling, and the same half-second of audio will play over and over until I stop scrolling. I can also make it briefly skip by simply switching windows, tabs, etc. Why does XMMS have this problem when other players don't? I can saturate the CPU by building KDE4 and Amarok won't skip, and neither will other players. Why is XMMS so weak here? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
