[Bug 29296] Re: poor gxine performance due to poor stock settings

[Warren Butler]

I would second this as an issue.

I have a Thinkpad 600E (P2 400) running Xubunt Edgy.  Thanks to this bug
and advice, I have had to increase the buffer for the audio engine to be
able to listen a CD.  The CD would play but would drop out every 2
seconds for a second and then keep playing.  Increasing the audio buffer
four-fold solved the problem.

On the other hand, my Dell Latitude CPx (P3 500) has the same settings
and plays CDs without the drop outs.

So, it does seem that the basic settings are only suitable for some
systems.
