OK, I had the same problem (xmms-0.9.5.1 was OK though) with the
graphic equalizer only being updated ~ once per second. Anyway, the
fix is to apply the patch for /usr/src/sys/pci/es1370.c (even if your
chipset is, like mine, es1371 - es1370.c is still used) in PR
kern/16709 and re-build your kernel. xmms-1.0.1 works fine now,
except...

Any of you guys have a problem with adjusting the volume with the
cursor keys? If you drag the slider to somewhere near 50% and then use
the arrow-up and arrow-down keys does the volume (and the VOLUME: n%
display) work properly? Mine only increases, it won't decrease. I've
found the cause of the problem and am working out the best solution
but would be interested how many others are thus afflicted.
