When I use libkse, I get distortions. They're hard to describe, but sort of like the digital equivalent of dragging a needle across a record. I can provide a short clip if anyone's interested. libthr fares a little better, but I get a bunch of clicks instead, which is at least less jarring. libc_r still works the best for xmms. This is on my XP2100+, SCHED_4BSD, and using libmap to change threading libs.
