Thank you very much for your advice! I have not tried to raise MediaPlayers thread priority yet, but I'll try it next. Although i must admit that i am not convinced with this solution. The game is opengl powered. Input processing, game logic and rendering are each separated in a dedicated thread (all with default priority). The game usually runs at 50+ frames without input and 40+ frames during input. Considering the implementation, there's nothing special, so i expect MediaPlayers default priority to be sufficient.
Maybe there's an other, more efficient way to play background music instead. The ogg streaming seems to cost a lot of cpu time. Do you know of a more efficient way? Would mp3 be more (or maybe less) efficient? Do different sample- or bitrates have an impact on playback performance? Would reading/decoding the audio data myself, without the use of MediaPlayer, be a viable solution? Any advice is welcome! Thanks, Mike.
