This longstanding problem has now been fixed as far as I'm concerned. 
Xmms hasn't played mp3s without a hicup for me on -CURRENT since at 
least a year, if not two or more.  It's been so long I can't recall.

I'm testing with a soundblaster live! value card:
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xef20-0xef3f irq 17 at device 17.0 on pci0
pcm0: <SigmaTel STAC9721/23 AC97 Codec>

I'm running a -CURRENT SMP kernel on a Tyan S1832DL w/dual PII 350s.  I 
only assume it's working with 5.2 RC1.
