compromise -- I'll change the code to that unless someone

Ahem, misread that as a rather unpleasant condition which happens in
old-age.

Also, you mentioned there was a problem with CPU usage
and sluggish
response. I haven't heard of any other complaints along these lines,
so i'm wondering if you did something to resolve the issue, or if you
might be able to do some more debugging:
No, I've not resolved the issue. I could do some more debugging though.

What X server are you running, or rather, are you
running on a
particularly slow, totally unaccelerated server? Or an ATI Catalyst
(closed-source) server which is known to have poor X performance. Is
the CPU usage coming from the new 'envy24control' or the X server? If
it's in envy24control -- could you find out where or what it's doing?
I'm running X.org X Server 1.8.2 (kernel 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP PREEMPT)

Yes, the CPU usage is from envy24control. Somehow, strange as it
sounds... The higher the volume, the higher the CPU usage... Or, if
the audio output is continually loud, it seems to overload the meters
and CPU usages rockets.
Two illustrations:

Let me know anything else you want me to try, or of further info you
may require.
Cheers,
James.
