I have a similar issue, when i play a mp3 or even just stream a station (shoutcast) when i would move windows arounds or go trhough web broswer tabs it would keep cutting out like the cpu was saturated. Any ideas? (600 mhz P3 / 384 RAM)

I have a Celeron 533MHz, Alsa installed too. If i play xmms (through arts) music during high processor load, xmms stops playing 4good, arts processor usage blows up to 50%, and even after I stop any other compilations/thingies, arts usage still is up to 50%, machine moves slowly, and XMMS is still dead. Even after I crash xmms arts is dead, no sound goes through it, or if it does, it does for a second or two, and then same result. If I play with XMMS through OSS or alsa, everything is ok, even on VERY HIGH processor load. After I fixed NVidia problems, like on this page described, it does the same thing but not so often. Who's fault is this ?
Any ideea? I appreciate any help ...

OK, I agree, it's not the skipping that concerns me ... I got that before too ... KDE is eating lots of resources up ... that was always so (OK, not quite like that, but anyway). The problem is that arts kills itself blowing it's usage up , and staying like that. I'll try tonight to recompile XMMS and it's arts plugin ... baybe it is broken compiled (I will compile it from the roots). And IF it works, put a new post tomorrow night ...

As to the skipping when playing sound through arts, running it with real-time priority fixes that. Just suid /usr/bin/artswrapper (chmod +s), and no more skipping.
This won't fix sound being completely cut off in Severn though.

Damn, someone was right (use realtime priority and OSS, and everything is ok ...). But I still want to know , If anyone can tell me ... is it ARTS or ALSA's fault ???
Thanks, Me
