1211970599.543457 poll({snip fd details}], 14, 186) = 1
1211970599.543928 gettimeofday({1211970599, 544334}, NULL) = 0
ie. we ask to sleep for 186us, and we get control back to call
gettimeofday 471us later. Of course, quite why we are waking up -so-
frequently, and reading ~20 bytes of samples, and going back to sleep
for such a short time is unclear to me; 260 poll / recvmsg's per
second - just to play a mp3; odd. Could it be that
this is the solution ? Unfortunately esd works (apparently)
perfectly on the same machine at a much more sedate 14 2k reads
per second instead.

themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
