i'm running vanilla-sources 2.4.25 with oss drivers here @work. my athlon800
@home is running vanilla-2.4.25 with alsa and the performance is the same.

i can play mp3s, videos and tv (all-in-wonder radeon @home) and i can even
play them all at the same time without issue.
playing flash however gibbles my mp3s (can't test video & tv 'cause i'm
@work). the audio sort of "chunks" while my cpu load runs at about an
average of 50% varying more with the movement on the screen than any sound
events. note that this happens with noatun and juk, as xmms somehow causes
arts to explode at random.
i've used mozilla under windowmaker on my machine @home in the past and the
flash worked flawlessly, which led me to believe that the issue was arts.
but that doesn't help me since i can't figure out how to make it die and
never come back and still have sound in flash.
ie. i've just now disabled the sound mixer in the kde control panel, and while
xmms works great (no skips, even when playing that flash game), i also have
no sound in the flash game, or any sound events. i'm restricted to xmms &
mplayer.
i think i hate arts
