Well, actually I kinda assumed it was a scheduler issue, but fair point
nonetheless -- measure then optimise. However, all the 4-5MB files I
play can well and truly fit into the 1GB of RAM in the system and I have
no swap partition. I did the experiment however, and playing the same
file repeatedly still suffers the same problem.
