That > seems to work for me. YMMV. Something got a lot worse, particularly with xmms, not long before 4.0 was released. My 3.4-STABLE box at work running xms with the newest libraries I could find uses 100% cpu to itself, all the time and skips with no provovation. My laptop when it was running 3.4-PAO and slightly older xmms libraries was fine (same as the desktop box used to be). My now 4.0-S laptop is better than the 3.4-S desktop but xmms still takes more CPU and skips a lot more than exactly the same hardware used to, and the equalizer breaks audio to the point of just occasional crackling sounds, now.
