Sure did Dirk, thanks very much.  One more question if you don't mind, maybe 
you can help.  When using xmms for streaming audio and browsing at the same 
time, I get a lot of skip in the audio.  Is there anyway to stop this?  I'm 
using KDE and in the KDE Control Center > Sound > Sound System I have skip 
prevention set to max but it still happens.  I think the key is to change the 
'nice' setting of xmms but I may be wrong.  I can't give xmms a -10 nice 
setting except as root though.  Possibly you have another solution?

Thanks for the help
