Comment 6 for bug 112484

I have even got a skip when merely minimising or maximising another app - for example my typical session would include rhythmbox, evolution, pidgin and firefox - I have not yet fiddled with any of the services as yet - to improve matters, but in any case this is a reasonably responsive system in XP (pentium 4 2.66 Ghz cpu with 768 megs ram with an FX550 nvidia graphics card) - granted not fancy, but not a dog.

This is a totally fresh stock standard install, plus all updates of the Hardy release candidate - only one thing has been added - the nvidia module so I don't have to reset the monitor when I boot between Winxp and Ubuntu. The sound files are pure ogg so no new codecs have been added either.

I really think the buffer size could be increased, or allow the user to increase it in the settings someplace.

cheers
