Which desktop (Gnome or KDE) are you using, and are you using a sound
server?

I had huge problems with audio latency, which caused a long delay when
adjusting settings or stopping playback in XMMS, when I was using arts, the
KDE sound system. So I abandoned arts completely, and now everything is
instantaneous! (Well, near enough for the casual user - I'm not a DJ!)

I switched over to using ALSA, with the ALSA XMMS plugin. Packages and
instructions are available on freshrpms.net

Gnome has a similar sound server (is that ESD?) I don't know anything about
it as I don't use Gnome.

If you have a half-decent soundcard, you don't need an audio server such as
arts as you can do all the mixing in hardware.
