162429 - Switching tabs interrups esd sound playback

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Hakon]

If I listen to music with xmms using the esd output, Mozilla seems to interrupt
the sound, for example every time I switch from one browser tab to another.
It's just a fraction of a second though. There are probably a few other triggers
as well, but I can't remember them right now.

I'm going to venture to say that CPU usage is very high on switching tabs, in
which case this bug would be INVALID.

Comment 3

[Anthony DeRobertis]

You're probably thrashing. What does:
  vmstat 1
say during the tab switches? 

If you're thrashing, please buy more RAM and mark this bug invalid ;-)

I'm going ahead and marking this INVALID
I don't see how this can be a bug in the Mozilla software.
Re-open if you feel otherwise.
