With 1.0.1, the scope It's been a while since I've used xmms (and x11amp before that) but I switched to gqmpeg because of memory and cpu consumptions issues I've had in the past with this software. GQmpeg uses a themeable GTK interface and uses mpg123 (which under 4.0, which I'm running, you can optimize quite nicely by hand in the ports tree [egcs rocks]) and I've NEVER seen mpg123 take anything more then 3-5% of cputime. It supports streaming audio and the volume slider has yet to affect the CPU that I've noticed. The only thing it doesn't have that xmms does is the EQ [but if you're like me, you're piping sound card output through your stereo and using real equipment to equalize.] relevant info: FreeBSD area51.v-wave.com 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Feb 24 01:43:52 MST 2000 root@area51.v-wave.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/AREA51 i386 flatline 15794 3.2 3.5 7720 4428 ??
