11 After further testing it would appear to be a bug with XMMS. I used the
12 same audio stream for both XMMS and mpg123 and only XMMS has issues when
13 the cpu steps down.

17 I tested this on an iBook2 500mhz, which steps down to 400mhz and
18 an iBook2 800mhz which steps down to 400mhz. Both had the issue reported
19 with XMMS, but not mpg123.

21 So it makes me wonder what mpg123 is doing that XMMS can't.
