Package: xmms-scrobbler
Severity: normal
Note that I am using xmms-scrobbler 0.3.8.1-4 backported to sarge
using apt-get --build source. Please forward this upstream if
appropriate.
I noticed that top showed "nfsd" taking resources when most systems
should be idle. I traced this down to NFS v2 GETATTR requests that
access /tmp/xmms_USERNAME.0. I straced the xmms binary and it seems
that one thread of xmms loops infinitely issuing the following
fragment of system calls (real username has been replaced with
USERNAME and song being played with OGGFILE):
connect(9, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/xmms_USERNAME.0"}, 110) = 0
write(9, "\1\0\7\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(9, "\1\0\0\0\4\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(9, "\6\0\0\0", 4) = 4
read(9, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
close(9) = 0
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 9
getuid32() = 500
geteuid32() = 500
setuid32(500) = 0
setreuid32(500, 500)
connect(9, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/xmms_USERNAME.0"}, 110) = 0
write(9, "\1\0\22\0\4\0\0\0", 8) = 8
write(9, "\6\0\0\0", 4) = 4
read(9, "\1\0\0\0M\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(9, "/home/USERNAME/OGGFILE"..., 77) = 77
read(9, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
close(9) = 0
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 9
getuid32() = 500
geteuid32() = 500
setuid32(500) = 0
setreuid32(500, 500)
These system calls seem to come from xmms_connect_to_session. I set a
breakpoint to that function and got the following backtrace:

In xmms-scrobler xmms_remote_get_playlist_pos is called from
get_song_status. The xs_thread function seems to call get_song_status
every 100ms perhaps this could be changed to configurable option so
that user could choose e.g. 2 second polling interval rather than
100ms polling interval?
Any idea if it is possible to poll xmms status info without generating
extra NFS traffic?
