I've noticed for quite some time (at least on 5.x even before -CURRENT) that if I'm unzipping or tarring a file that it is enough to make xmms play mp3s with intermittent buzzing. I have a fairly fast machine, dual athlon 1.53 Ghz with 1 GB of ram and a fully scsi setup, 4 10K maxtors in a Raid 0 stripe set.
Did you ever find a solution to this Collin?
I've got a 5.3-STABLE SMP machine, with a promise RAID controller, RAID1, with snd_emu10k1.ko, and I get the same results... Re-nicing xmms doesn't help either...
Cheers, Derek
I noticed that no one has suggested this thus far so...
#sysctl hw.snd
#man sound
Runtime Configuration
The following sysctl(8) variables are available:hw.snd.pcm%d.buffersize Configure the amount of DMA bufferspace
available for a device.
hw.snd.targetirqrate Set the default block size such that
continuous playback will achieve this
IRQ rate. This value can be tuned to
improve application performance.
Increase this value when the sound lags
and decrease it if sound stutters or
breaks up.
My /boot/loader.conf: hw.snd.targetirqrate=48 hint.pcm.0.buffersize="8192"
