Followup: I reran with sd-0.46, setting rr_interval to 40, and then 5

did try setting the make to nice 10, and that made the playback
perfectly smooth, as well as response to skip forward and volume change
happening when the key was pressed instead of eventually.
I also tried raising the nice of X to -10, that made things better on
display, but I winder if it will let X run ahead of the nice-0 raid threads.
Is this my hardware or is there a really odd behavior here? The sd seems
to be too fair to cope well with this realistic load, and expecting
users to nice things is probably morally correct but unrealistic.
People have been reporting very good performance with regards to OpenGL
applications under SD. What is your video driver ? NVidia proprietary ?
My original post I was following gave my config, built-in graphics using
945G framebuffer. This is a server, I'm not a gamer. The only fancy
graphics I have are on a system with no on board video at all, I picked
up a moderately high-end Radeon card to drop in. And to give you an idea
of what a gamer I am, that uses the vesafb driver ;-)
OpenGL, X and direct frame buffer access (mplayer and friends) tend not
to interact each other which can result in very different scheduling
characteristics between them.
