I tried installing the ipkgs for ogg-lib, vorbis-lib and vorbis-tools
and run ogg123 from the command line, without X running. It's taking
between 75-80% CPU according to top. So there isn't much headroom for
GUI updating. Well it's a 192kbps encoded file...
I'm not sure offhand how to tell whether /usr/lib/libogg.so is the
tremor code or whether it uses floating-point math.
