Part of that may be that it uses MAD for mp3 decoding, while old xmms decoder was based on some code from mpg123. There's an alternative decoder pending on xmms2 mantis, based on libmpg123. That one is faster, though there are other points for xmms2 being slower, I guess (like, being a more complex program). Alrighty then, Thomas (happening to be mpg123 maintainer, so a bit biased there;-). -- Thomas Orgis - Source Mage GNU/Linux Developer (http://www.sourcemage.org) OrgisNetzOrganisation ---)=- http://orgis.org GPG public key D446D524: http://thomas.orgis.org/public_key Fingerprint: 7236 3885 A742 B736 E0C8 9721 9B4C 52BC D446 D524
