	Am I the only one who's mp3 playing skips constantly, even when the
computer is otherwise unencumbered? I don't exactly have a puny system
either... it's a K6-2 400 MHz with 64 megs of ram and an SB16. Even when
mpg123 or X11Amp (+X Windows +wm) is the only thing running, I still get skips
at regular intervals. I've tried upping the buffer to no avail. Anyone have
any ideas?
