    It is good, so long as the sound process runs at a higher-than-default
    priority. Trying to get sound to run skiplessly at the same priority as a
    normal process is just a waste of time. If it happens to work in some kernel
    versions or hardware configurations, it's an accident.

    Though I've admittedly only done a small of testing, I haven't seen a glitch
    recently. I'm a happy camper. (Right now I'm running make -j25, apt-get
    installing OpenOffice and listening to Bolero.)

    Regards,
