I am running SRS 4.1 beta on S10u5 and also see this problem...initially I
thought it might have just been XMMS, but you are right as it is the same
version that I have running on SRS 4.0 on S10u5 without this problem. It does
go away if I pick ESD plugin. I noticed that the timer also gets funky with
streams. What I see with local audio files is that the timer is counting play
time from the time XMMS was launched.

Subject: [SunRay-Users] Odd XMMS behaviour on SRS 4.1 beta
Hi folks,
I'm running the new SRS 4.1 beta bits on SXCE (snv_87) and its all
working very well so far, except for some minor craziness with XMMS...
When playing audio through the Solaris audio plugin (which uses the Sun
Ray utaudio device in $AUDIODEV) XMMS seems unable to keep track of what
point in the audio file it's up to -- either giving outrageously high
times or not moving the bar along at all (or both). The audio itself
plays just as well as it ever did and this copy of XMMS works fine on
the currently GA SRS 4 (i.e. before I upgraded to the new SRS beta.)
Switching to the ESD plugin (with an approrpiate Enlightened Sound
process) gives the correct timing behaviour, so my guess is that it's a
difference in behaviour of the audio device rather than, say, something
to do with the switch to Xnewt.
Before digging into the XMMS code I'd just like to know if anybody else
is experiencing issues like these, or if any folks from Sun know of any
changes to the audio devices that could cause this problem.
Cheers.
PS - Other than the above weirdness, the new XVideo stuff is neat, as
well as the switch to Xnewt which seems to have mostly alleviated the
multi-gigabyte growing-Xsun issue I've been battling with XINERAMA
enabled on MH groups. Also, all monitors in a MH group now power down
instead of just the first one (hooray!) and DPMS support is a win.
