I don't think this has anything to do with XMMS.  I can get the CPU to peg
at 100% just by dragging windows around, or running ls against /usr/lib
(or some other directory with a large number of files).  It happens
whether XMMS is playing (either MP3 or OGG files) or not.  Although
anytime the CPU usage gets that high, XMMS skips (for me at least).
