I applied the patch found in PR kern/16709 like it was suggested but it had
absolutely zero affect on xmms (version 0.9.5.1 that shipped with 3.4-R). I
fire the thing up and it still chews 95% of the CPU up not even playing a song
... 

I don't know when things changed--I didn't used to have this behavior. Then I
tried to "upgrade" to xmms-1.0.1 and was having problems of the same sort
mentioned in the quote above (very "jumpy" scope updates and sucking 100% of
the CPU). I blew that away and reverted back to 0.9.5.1 from my 3.4-R CD but
now the problem persists (I don't recall if I'd done a CVSup and "make world"
+ kernel inbetween reverting back to 0.9.5.1 ... I CVSup regularly so it is a
good possibility).

Anyone have any clues? Does the patch in PR kern/16709 fix others' problem?

ps: running an "older" PCI128 with a 1370.
