If you have a reasonably fast machine, this shouldnt be a problem; the 5.x branch can preempt that much thus far. Hence, youll never hear my music stop (1.6ghz athlon-xp, 512ram), even under the most extreme conditions (compiling, multiple programs opened on several workspaces), only time I hear it skip, is when im extracting a large bz2 archive, but I believe thats mostly due to the synchronous nature of the file system...just my 2 cents.

Hi

I am working on something that requires the pc to play mp3 continiously
The pc does however has other tasks than this an once in a while the mp3 stops (when you start mozilla for example)


with apple and iTunes he tune keeps playing no mather what you do (it is compiled into the kernel or something).

Can I do this with freebsd, can I say something like:
This program got to have 10% of the available cpu and disk time or something like it ?



Have you looked at stuff like this in the kernel config (example taken from 4.x btw):
