Just for the record, I wanted to point out that this is not an official 
BNL kernel, but just my own patch; and that the content is originally Con 
Kolivas and Yue Shi Lai.

With this patch, xmms doesn't skip at all, but it seems latency gets 
introduced in other places -- for instance, when starting mozilla's mail, 
the system is practically unusable for more than a few seconds while it is 
doing i/o.
