xmms_remote_get_output_time messed up?

hi all. i'm writing an xmms plugin that needs to know the current position (in
milliseconds) of the song. it's very sensitive to position, and needs to know 
the position with high precision.

however, i'm having problems with the xmms_remote_get_output_time function. it 
seems to be returning values at way less than millisecond granularity - if i 
poll it often, it gets as bad as whole-second granularity. i've observed this 
with both the eSound and OSS output plugins, but the null and disk writer 
plugins don't have the problem.

there's a more in-depth description (with conditions, etc.) in the forum:
http://forum.xmms.org/viewtopic.php?t=538&sid=c711c4858cb5b70c65a1c57b0e84126c

if anyone has any ideas on what's causing this, or how i might be able to work 
around it, i'd appreciate it. (especially if there are any xmms developers out 
there...hint hint :P).
