For the first time I managed to compile rhythmbox (0.4) and gst-player. Both need 100 % of my processor when playing, I guess it has something to do with gstreamer. Gstreamer gives also warnings like
(gst-player:937): WARNING **: alsa: xrun of at least 213.169 msecs

both programs give alsa warnings. Does somebody know more? As for now I will continue to use xmms and mplayer for all my multi-media needs.....

Answering myself: I found out that using the alsa plugin in gstreamer will utilize 100% cpu.

gst-launch filesrc location=./Wheatus-Wannabe_Gangster.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink
cpu == 100%

gst-launch filesrc location=./Wheatus-Wannabe_Gangster.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
cpu == 15%

Still high but a lot less! Strange because oss is a emulation by alsa.

How can I change the output to oss? This forum mentions gnome-control-centre->advanced->Monkey-Media but i don't find this caplett.
