I would definately try giving it more priority.. I wouldn't hesitate to
set it at -10, maybe -15, but wouldn't go any farther.
The only time I really have that problem is switching back & forth between
the console & X.
It might actually be a problem w/ linux... giving too much of the cpu to
graphical processes during transitions like this.
There are also buffering issues you can look into. Some mp3 players allow
you to specify buffer size, and there are a couple programs that exist
specifically to buffer input to things like mp3 players & cd burners.
I think this is the buffering program I was thinking of:
