Gah. How hard is it to play a track without dropping out?

Nicholas Clark

PS This hate may be mis-aimed. The playing field isn't quite level, as the
   tracks are in Apple lossless encoding, so lots of disk to read, and the
   MacBook is doing 'sudo port install subversion' with 9Gb of VM now.
   So maybe I should be hating non-realtime OSes. But, *how* much power and
   developer effort is there in all this hardware and software, yet it can't
   even schedule things as reliably as a wiggly groove in a pat of vinyl?
