I play mp3's almost constantly while I'm working. I have 4 virtual screens under X. When I run OSS and switch between the virtual screens or scroll in netscape or do anything that's intensive, the musicplaying drops out. This does not occur while using Voxware. I feel like I wasted $20.00 on OSS and have since switched to Voxware again in 3.0-current. I haven't tried OSS lately but I bet that still hasn't been fixed and besides, I hear it doesn't like 3.0-current anymore. > * contribute fixes.
