I must wholeheartedly agree. I have not tried any of the interactivity work yet, but it is clear that your particular experience will depend on the specific test application used. For instance, using net-rhythmbox to play mp3s causes skips every time a web page is loaded, but it does not happen with xmms. Perhaps we should write down the various interactivity tests people have come up with, so that Con/Ingo/whoever else can test their work to some extent. Thanks, Rahul
