Yes, running xmms with rtprio 0 does make the player work, but the GUI still behaves quite strange. Also, I still get some music-lock ups. The good thing is that the IRQ/DMA-timeout messages are gone. When just running xmms with a kernel compiled with the POSIX-options suggested by Alfred, the "tried to use non-present sched_getscheduler" didn't reappear which I guess suggests that xmms is using some stuff in that POSIX library. However, I didn't get any appearant change in the quality of the music playback, but I did start to see some "OSS flush"-messages. =46rom this I guess that it's a problem with the threads and not the settings of the soundcard. (esp since both I and Chris are having similar problems). Has anybody else on freebsd-questions tried xmms and if so, did it work? If you look at the webpage for xmms, they talk about thread-safe X libs. What's the relationship for those visavi FreeBSD? I will talk to a friend who knows the xmms-devguys. They have not shown any greater interest in FreeBSD though. If this suggests that they are not doing everything all right with thread handling, they might be more interested. Thanks so far and keep those comments and suggestions coming. -- = Cheers!
