Public bug reported:
The current build of XMMS is wrongly configured.
When using the crossfade-plugin (in package xmms-crossfade), there are 2
options for output plugins:
1) Built-in OSS output
2) Output pluggin (ALSA)
When using 1), all the usual problems with OSS occur.
When using 2), dmix works fine, but because of the VERY large minimum
buffer size in the alsa output plugin, crossfading and stopping songs
take up to 10 seconds to react!
This makes the crossfade-plugin unusable in practice, because ALSA is a
must these days.
I have attached a small, trivial patch to enable lower buffer sizes in
the ALSA plugin. This works without problems, and I'm currently running
a custom build with this patch applied.
I hope you will apply the patch to future ubuntu builds of xmms.
