I run everything as root (naughty me), so I'd have to change my evil
ways to reap the benefits.  (I'll do that to test, but it's unlikely to
ever become a permanent habit here)  Amarok/Gforce will definitely like
the user split as long as latency is low.  Visualizations are not only
bandwidth hungry, they're extremely latency sensitive.
