When stopped there are four threads of XMMS, none is taking CPU time.
When playing two more are created, and totally they eat 0.3~0.5% on my
PII/233 (isn't noticeable, is it? :)

>From a look at /proc I find that the player threads eat 0.02s of user
time and 0.2s of kernel time per minute of playing, so it is truly
0.3%.  Therefore, if the time calculated is wrong, it is kernel's fault.
