Hi,
xmms on my computer freezes temporarily when doing disk-intensive tasks,
e.g. examining the ID3-tags of a long playlist. It is not a serious
problem, it just annoys me that my OpenBSD installation apparently does
not perform as well as my friend's Debian GNU/Linux installation, which
does not suffer from the problem. It _is_ a matter of honor :)
Any help is appreciated, but my primary objective is to find out whether
I am the only person experiencing this problem.
I run OpenBSD 3.9-release on an IBM Thinkpad T41 laptop with all file
sets except bsd.mp. The relevant, installed packages are:
esound-0.2.34p0
libao-0.8.5p2
libid3tag-0.15.1bp0
libmad-0.15.1bp1
xmms-1.2.10p6
I have tried increasing the buffer size and pre-buffer percent in
Preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins -> MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player 1.2.10
[libmpg123.so} -> Configure -> Streaming to as high as 4096 kb and 50%.
It did not help. However, maybe these values only affect streaming (over
networks).
