I have the same problem. If I run xmms and play some ogg files, X start to eat up cpu time until it reaches 99,9% (checked with top). I can close xmms and it drops to something normal (0,5%-2%). If I start xmms again it goes op again. But it only happen when I play ogg files.... not when I play CDDA _or_ mp3. I find it _very_ strange. I have switched to freeamp and the problem is gone now....
