Ok i've looked at that patch and it won't help as the soundcard in that box uses a different driver (and that one does have select() btw.) I also tested it with the other driver (its a isa sb16 where both the old and new drivers work), but it made no real difference. And in the meantime i've also chatted with a linux user who said xmms doesn't eat as much cpu on his box (just a few % there), so i'm beginning to suspect a pthreads problem or something... That would also explain why an entirely different audio player (freeamp) is chewing cpu too, tho that one doen't eat _all_ available cycles when its idle, just (imho) way too much. Soo, anyone who knows `our' pthreads implementation wants to take a look? and if you want the unfinished cpu chewing freeamp port just mail me...
