i dont think its a sparc issue. I have this problem with a x86 machine. more freq than not, its netlag from the RAID (Sparc) to the xmms x86 host. But sometimes i have this problem with local files too.Normaly it coincides with masive disk i/o in Netscapes Mozzila. i dont know if i was invading swap space or still within physical ram. However reniceing all xmms threads helped.i dont know exactly how xmms comunicates with the sound subsystem (oss in my case) but it would seem to have fifo under-run issues.
If it is a fifo queue then increasing the buffer size might help. there is a realtime linux implementation, you might want to keep that in mind. - Robin-David Hammond 56 Hardwick RD Ashland MASS, USA "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern technology.
