Yup. I see the same thing and it was around the same time. I do not know what
the deal is and just haven't had enough time to see what commit elicited this
behavior (I've tried different versions of xmms back to 0.9.5.1 and they all
use 100% of the CPU now when playing back--they used to burn about 6% on my
PII 450).

I'm about to upgrade to 4.0 so I've not put too much effort into trying to
help track it down ... :(
