	Yes, but It must be your choice. And it is not too much work.

	Anyway, I didn't thing that you don't leave time to the rest of the
process to run. Then if you are using a sound daemon it will not have 
time to play it unless it is in the real time scheduler too (and with 
more or the same priority). And, If you are using a video output that 
needs some CPU time it will not be able of put it on the screen. I am 
always thinking in a small machine because a big one do not need that 
switch (but the mine).

	For example, in may case with -vo xmga -ao oss is very useful. 

	bye,

	S.
