Kurt, one of the regulars here, has made a commandline player which handles
pretty much anything that Quicktime can. I find it very useful indeed!

As written, it skipped a lot on my TiBook 500. But, without actually
understanding the code, I simply increased the buffer size a bit and
bumped up the feeder thread priority a couple notches. Easy, just by
reading the comments (thanks, Kurt!) Recompiled, and viola!
Skip-free, even with 100% CPU usage for minutes at a time.
Which makes me wonder why all the DJ apps I can find (via
VersionTracker) have problems with skipping. Not using CoreAudio,
maybe. I'm thinking you wrap a UI around this code and you've got
the basics right there.
