Let me guess, the sound skips unless you run at a low nice value. That's bad design on the part of XMMS. nice is the wrong way to handle RT constraints. You need a proper design (ie multithreaded). See JACK for an example of how to do it right. http://jackit.sf.net Or, since you don't need low latency, use a bigger buffer. Proper handling of RT constraints has been discussed to death on LKML and other lists (executive summary: almost no one does it right. mplayer is one of the most egregious offenders).
