I'm still getting starvation problems. If I run xmms with the "Goom" visualizer (with the window large enough that it is CPU-bound), then type a command into a shell window (say, ps), it will not run the command until I close or shrink the goom window. xmms itself plays fine, though sometimes it fails to go to the next track, apparently for the same reason (ie, it starts the next track when I disable the visualizer). Goom is available from http://ios.free.fr/?page=projet&quoi=1. It installs pretty easily if you have xmms installed. That said, it does seem to be better than previous schedulers (for example, 64-mm8). It used to starve xmms so much that I couldn't close operate the UI to turn off the visualizer. J
