The package changelog often [albeit not always] reveals details about when version upgrades have been prepared and whether there have been any problems (which required more testing as well as patches or upstream-fixes prior to publishing Fedora packages). > I am on F8. Well, in my opinion it is a false expectation to use an aging distribution release and hope to get always the very latest applications as updates. Audacious in some releases has had API/ABI changes, too. Packagers need to be careful with such changes after the release of a distribution. Anyway, shouldn't be of much concern to you if you prefer XMMS. ;) I'm not interested in the performance differences between these two. Audacious uses a different threading API and very likely differs also internally, whereas many of its plugins have been ported from XMMS and BMP. Perhaps the performance differences are related to pre-processing and post-processing of sample buffers (such as mixing, over-sampling, queueing and support for visual effects), and GTK2. Minimizing Audacious' main window, disabling auto-scrolling of the song name and other visual effects, reduces the average CPU usage. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
