I use NFS for music since years it always worked, but the server is running OpenBSD in my case. I guess your NFS server makes short pauses that cause the player to not produce audio samples fast enough. could you try using mpg321 and/or ogg123 on NFS mounted files to see if skips occur? If so, does using aucat in server mode help ? -- Alexandre
