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!

http://www.snoize.com/Code/PlayBufferedSoundFile.tar.gz

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.
