In my gnome applications menu (2.14) I have two 'CD player' items under 'Sound and Video' ... I think one of these comes from goobox (grey CD icon) and the other (red CD icon) I guess comes from stock gnome. i) how do I change their names so I can know which one I click? (OK, now I can distinguish them by the color of their icons but I had to do some digging ...) ii) both CD players are sensitive to other activity (mostly CPU load, but also simple things like accessing menus or working with windows). Right now IŻm building ports in the background and CD playing goes along fine, but if I start to open a couple of nautilus windows, or scrolling a long page in firefox, I can hear some glitches and pauses (sometimes even moving the mouse from one window to another, thus causing to switch focus, makes cd playing glitch). I have the audio output of my CD reader directly connected to my sound card (besides the mandatory IDE cable) ... so why does the CPU and or desktop activity affect CD playing at all? This is something that my old Macintosh still does well ... it takes about half a minute to open Adobe Illustrator (and Mac OS 9 is not a multitasking OS, so I cannot use another app or do anything else while I wait) and still CD playing goes along like when the CPU is idle. Is this a gnome issue or a more general FreeBSD issue? Fernan PS: FreeBSD-6.1, gnome-2.14 running on a pIII 600MHz, 768MB RAM
