remember: xmms works fine on this system. (and it is threaded)
Only after adding threads to the splay decoder it produces
clicks.
Maybe that xmms access /dev/dsp differently?
(select(...) versus write(...), etc...)

Artsd uses the select approach, and the yaf-xxx player the

But I don't know how threads may have an effect on the
way "how to access /dev/dsp".
