Testing rhythmbox on my 1.6GHz pentium M laptop, 1GB RAM, ALSA 1.0.21, debian sid. I use KDE so I had to compile rhythmbox from source (too many GNOME extra dependencies at binary installation so I took the source road instead). Been running for 15mn now, music files come from a multimedia server (mini-ITX box serving as mythtv backend as well). So far so good. I will let it run as long as it wants to play nicely.
Ah yeah, Jack is running on an Intel soundchip (ICH5, snd-intel8x0) at 21ms latency.
