I am getting way slow playback from xmms. Don't know why this is happening. I am running on an old:

Acer Aspire 2862 PII - 300Mhz.
256 MB Ram
And some weird on board sound system. I think it is a crystal sound system or something.

Everything I have looked at seems to be running at speed and fine.
I haven't run Linux in ages (Well since like '97) and it's all slow coming back to me. I decided to run it again since I will be getting a new system soon, and noticed Knoppix seemed to be a nice Live system.
(Which is it!)
Anyway....

I have the follow list in mods:

...

cs4232 is obviously the sound device.

When I run xmms is goes i would say at at least 1/2 speed. (These are MP3's I have been playing around with.) I haven't tried any other formats yet. I thought maybe someone had experienced this before and has a quick fix?? Anyway if anyone can help or needs more info from me to fix this problem, let me know! Thanks!
