hmm. I just tested running mpg123 and starting firefox on a lesser
machine (1.8GHz celeron/512MB RAM) and don't notice any stutterring.
it's an azalia also. well, there were a lot of azalia changes since
4.4. and I'm using ff3 as opposed to ff2.
generally speaking, I notice less disturbance in audio playback when
I use blackbox rather than KDE as my desktop, though, I don't know if
that's applicable here.
can you try the following:
$ mpg123 file.mp3 &
$ while :; do audioctl play.{seek,errors}; sleep 1; done > log &
$ firefox; kill %2; fg %2; kill %1; fg %1
<quit firefox with ctrl-q>
and then post the contents of `log'?
