I've been using xmms since I think 1997 (x11amp back then) and switched
to audacious last year with the upgrade to Slackware 12.1 (xmms not
packaged anymore).
How to put it: xmms was simple working better.
Audacious crashes from time to time, and there is some lag in the replay,
i.e. when I press pause it takes a moment until it actually stops.
Maybe it uses some fancy soundserver. I don't want to fiddle around to
find this out. xmms has been working without problems for me for years,
and now something that basic, where I didn't have problems with back in
1997, has problems ?
Maybe we should just forget about user-space soundservers altogether...
