Who needs realplayer anyway :P PS when i play a mp3 with xmms i can do as much as i want, it will never interfear with the playing music. With mplayer i can have for example a cash size of 10 secondes but after 10 seconds i can manege to do a buffer underrun. How i can tell mplayer to do the same buffering as xmms ?
