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 ... :( -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
